Ingredients

1 pork tenderloin (trimmed, silver skin removed — 1-1¼ lbs, cut in half crosswise to fit)

¼ cup low sodium chicken broth (or sub water)
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1½ tablespoons corn starch
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛-¼ red pepper flakes

Instructions

Lightly grease a 3-4 quart slow cooker with non-stick spray and add the tenderloin. Season all over with seasoning salt.
Whisk together honey, broth, soy sauce, garlic, corn starch, vinegar, salt, and red pepper flakes.
Pour sauce around pork tenderloin in slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, or on high for 1.5-2 hours, until a meat thermometer reads at least 140 degrees F. Turn off and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice pork tenderloin and serve with sauce.

Notes

Tips and tricks:

Don’t over-cook: Since pork is a lean meat, it can dry out more easily than other types of meat. Be sure to take it out of the oven as soon as possible after it reaches 140-145ºF

Pork loin: This recipe is for pork tenderloin and not pork loin. Because a pork loin is much larger, it will take significantly longer to cook. I recommend giving the pork loin a head start and cooking for 4-5 hours on low before adding the sauce so that the sugar in the sauce doesn't burn.

Storage: Leftover Pork Tenderloin will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 4-6 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge if frozen, then warm either in the microwave or in the oven until heated through.
