Jerseyhunter,

I realize that flipping once is the only way meat normally is good.... but, for some jolly reason this seems to work.

The only thing I can figure out is that having the meat seared before the BBQ sauce is put on and then searing/frying AGAIN with the BBQ sauce between the hot skillet and the meat it seems to mellow yet bring out the flavor in the BBQ sauce.

Dunno exactly but people seem surprised when they taste the meat!
