Step 1

Trim excess fat from pork tenderloins. Evenly season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

To a large skillet (preferably stainless steel or cast iron), add the olive oil, pork, and sear over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side. Tip - The intention is to sear the pork to both add flavor and lock in the juices, you're not cooking it through fully here. That comes next. Just get a sear on it and transfer it.

Step 3

Add the pork to a 6-quart slow cooker or similar size; set aside momentarily.

Step 4

To a medium bowl, add all the remaining ingredients (except the optional herbs for garnishing), and whisk to combine.

Step 5

Evenly pour the mixture over the pork and cover the slow cooker with a lid.

Step 6

Cook on LOW for about 4 to 6 hours, OR on HIGH for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Cooking time will range dramatically due to if you're cooking on low vs. high, the energy and heat output of your particular slow cooker, the thickness of your pork, climate, and so forth. Always cook until done! Cooking Tips - The only way to know without a doubt is to use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork at the thickest point. Pork is done when it reaches 145F. However, I will pull it out at about 140F, and then let it rest on a cutting board for about 10 minutes, or until the internal temp has a chance to rise to 145F (safe zone). Allow the meat to rest also helps prevent the natural juices from running out if you were to slice it right away.

Step 7

Optionally, if you’d like to thicken the cooking juices from the slow cooker to use as a glaze/dip for your pork, you can transfer the juices into a medium to large saucepan and place it on the stove. Then whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water, and add that to the juices. Simmer over medium-high to high for 20-30 minutes, uncovered, or until the liquid has reduced in volume and thickened. Remember liquids will always tighten up some off the heat as they cool and will always seem looser/thinner than they are when they're simmering.

Step 8

Optionally garnish with the glaze, fresh herbs, slice, and serve.

Step 9

Pork will keep airight in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or as desired. Leftover pork is great in sandwiches, wraps, sliders, or as-is.
