Ingredients
1 pork tenderloin (about 1-1.5 lbs)
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish is optional)
Instructions
- Start by patting the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels. This ensures the seasonings stick well. Trim any excess silver skin or fat for a cleaner presentation.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Place the pork tenderloin in the slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture over the top, ensuring the tenderloin is evenly coated. Use tongs to rotate the pork if necessary.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours. The tenderloin is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Once cooked, remove the pork tenderloin from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Tent it with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This step allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and tender meat.
- Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions and arrange on a serving platter. Spoon some of the cooking juices over the top for extra flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
