Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin Ingredients Needed:
Pork Tenderloin – This is not to be mistaken for pork loin! They are two different cuts of meat that require different cook times. A pork tenderloin should be roughly 1 lb in weight. For best results, trim the silver skin before adding to the slow cooker. Soy Sauce – This can be swapped with tamari or coconut aminos if preferred. I always choose low sodium and add salt as needed! Vinegar – This gives the sauce a nice tangy element. Salt – If you find that the soy sauce is already salty enough, you may choose to omit the salt. Red Pepper Flakes – Add more or less to adjust the level of spicy flavor. Honey – This gives the sauce a delightfully sweet note! Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey. Chicken Broth – I always recommend using a low sodium broth to cook with. That way, you can control the amount of salt in the final product. Cornstarch – This is used to thicken the sauce to that glaze-like consistency. Garlic – Add more or less to taste. Seasoning Salt – This helps to create the very best flavor for the meat.

Lightly grease your slow cooker, then add the tenderloin. Sprinkle the seasoning salt all over. Whisk together the honey, broth, soy sauce, garlic, cornstarch, vinegar, salt and red pepper flakes. Pour this sauce all around the tenderloin.
Cover the Crockpot. Cook on low for 2-3 hours or on high for 1/5-2 hours, or until a meat thermometer reads 140°F. Turn off the slow cooker and let the meat rest for 10 minutes. Slice the pork tenderloin. Serve with the sauce and enjoy!
Variations and Substitutions
Make it spicy: Sprinkle in more red pepper flakes to heat things up! Just be careful, because a little bit goes a long way. Make it extra garlicky: While you can always just add even more garlic, feel free to add garlic powder as well to really double down on that flavor. Skip the gluten: Soy sauce contains gluten. If you need to, you can avoid that by using tamari or coconut aminos!
