Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin


Crock pot or Slow Cooker recipes are great escapes.  You can literately set it and forget it for few hours. We like them because the cooking and clean up is easy.



Ingredients:
1.5 - 2 pounds lean pork tenderloin

Marinade:
1 cup chicken broth,
1 tbs dijon mustard
1 tbs rice wine vinegar
1 tbs lite soy sauce, low sodium
2 tbs honey
2 tsp fresh grated ginger
2 cloves, garlic, minced
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
kosher or sea salt to taste

Glaze:
2 tbs honey
2 tbs lit soy sauce
2 tbs rice wine vinegar
2 tbs ketchup
1 tbs sesame oil
1 tbs dijon mustard

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl combine all marinade ingredients.  Trim away all visible fat from tenderloin and discard. Cut tenderloin into 2 pieces and place in marinade, ensuring all sides are coated.  Cover and allow tenderloin to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Place tenderloin and marinade in slow cooker, cook on low 4-6 hours or until it shreds easily with a fork.  Remove from slow cooker. To prepare glaze, add all ingredients to a small saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook about 5 minutes or until desired thickness.  Pour glaze over tenderloin.


Tupps Tidbits:  crock pot meal makes meat tender due to the  low & slow cooking 

Sox (our cat ) in the Crock pot carrier!


Crock pot recipes rarely call for added oils or fats and are generally healthy so long as you trim the fat from your meat. This recipe was very healthy but lacked enough flavor.  NOT A KEEPER in our house. We would definitely use the pork in a stir fry recipe or shred for pork sandwiches with some barbecue sauce. It beats ordering greasy (and expensive) take out!
