Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Balsamic Pork Tenderloi
This flavorful recipe is a crowd-pleaser, even for the pickiest eaters!
*Ingredients:*
– 2 pounds pork tenderloin
– 1 teaspoon ground sage
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon pepper
– 1 clove garlic, crushed
– ½ cup water
– ½ cup brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
– ½ cup water
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
*Instructions:*
1. Combine the sage, salt, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl.
2. Rub the seasoning mix onto the pork tenderloin. Add ½ cup of water to the slow cooker and place the tenderloin inside.
3. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
4. About an hour before the pork is done, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water, and soy sauce.
5. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens, which should take around 4 minutes.
6. During the last hour of cooking, brush the pork with the glaze 2-3 times. For a caramelized crust, transfer the pork to an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet, brush with glaze, and broil for 1-2 minutes until bubbly and caramelized. Repeat this process 2-3 times for a more pronounced crust.
7. Serve with the remaining glaze on the side.
8. Enjoy your delicious meal!.
