Recipe Tips

This recipe calls for 2 small 1 pound tenderloins. You can also use just one 3 pound pork loin.
Searing isn't required but always recommended. Helps seal in the juices and gives the meat some color.
Pork tenderloin is a lean cut of meat that can dry out if overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature and remove it when it's 145 degrees.
You could add some potatoes, onions, and carrots in with the pork tenderloin
Whisking in a little cornstarch to the sauce and it becomes a delicious silky gravy. Poured over my Garlic Roasted Mashed Potatoes is fantastic!
Do not add any more liquid to the slow cooker. The tenderloin will make its own juices.
