Easy Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin
This recipe features a pork tenderloin coated in a brown sugar and soy sauce mixture, slow-cooked until juicy and tender. It takes about 6 hours on low and serves 4-6 people.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening sauce)
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper.
- Add Pork to Crockpot: Place the pork tenderloin in the Crockpot and pour the sauce mixture over it, ensuring the pork is well coated.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until the pork is tender and cooked through.
