Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pork tenderloins about 2 to 2½ pounds total
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch optional, for gravy
  • 2 tablespoons cold water optional

Method
 

  1. Pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels.
  2. Mix the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Rub the seasoning mixture all 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 lightly browned.
  5. Place the pork tenderloins in the slow cooker.
  6. Whisk together the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic.
  7. Pour the mixture around 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. Remove the pork and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
  10. For a thicker gravy, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water. Stir it into the cooking liquid and cook on High for 10 to 15 minutes until thickened.
  11. Serve the sliced pork with the warm gravy spooned over the top.

Notes

  • Pork tenderloin cooks much faster than pork loin, so avoid overcooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer for the juiciest results.
  • Let the meat rest before slicing to keep the juices inside.
  • Searing is optional but adds extra flavor.
  • Slice against the grain for the most tender bites.
