Slow Cooker Garlic Herb Pork Tenderloin
Instructions

Season the pork

Pat the pork tenderloins dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.

Make the cooking liquid

In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and red pepper flakes if using.

Cook

Place the pork tenderloins in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Rest and slice

Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. Slice into medallions and spoon some of the cooking juices over the top.

Serving Ideas

Mashed potatoes

Rice or quinoa

Roasted carrots or green beans

Steamed broccoli

Crusty bread to soak up the sauce

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freeze sliced pork with some of the cooking liquid for up to 2 months.

Reheat gently to prevent the pork from drying out.

Description

This recipe is ideal for busy weeknights because the slow cooker does most of the work. The pork stays moist and flavorful, while the garlic-herb sauce infuses every bite with savory richness. It's a simple, family-friendly meal that feels comforting and satisfying without requiring complicated preparation.
