Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pork tenderloins about 2 to 2½ pounds total
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch optional
  • 2 tablespoons cold water optional

Method
 

  1. Pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels.
  2. Mix the paprika, thyme, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together.
  3. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the pork.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned.
  5. Place the pork tenderloins into the slow cooker.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and chicken broth.
  7. Pour the sauce over the pork.
  8. Cover and cook on Low for 2½ to 3½ hours, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  9. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
  10. If you prefer a thicker glaze, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water, stir it into the slow cooker, and cook on High for 10 to 15 minutes until thickened.
  11. Spoon the glaze over the sliced pork before serving.

Notes

  • Pork tenderloin cooks quickly, so avoid overcooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer for perfectly juicy pork.
  • Searing adds extra flavor but is optional.
  • Let the meat rest before slicing.
  • The glaze thickens as it cools.
