Crock Pot Brown Sugar Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

 

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 pounds pork tenderloin

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce

1 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup brown sugar

4 cloves garlic, chopped

3 fresh red chili pepper, finely chopped ( I used a few drops of hot sauce)

1/2 large onion, sliced

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Brown tenderloins on all sides, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together teriyaki sauce, chicken broth, and brown sugar in a bowl. Stir in garlic, hot sauce, onion, and black pepper.

Put browned tenderloins into slow cooker, cover with the teriyaki sauce mixture.

Cook on low for about 4-5 hours, turning 2 to 3 times during the cooking time to ensure even doneness.

Remove tenderloins from the slow cooker and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. If desired, spoon liquid over slices when serving.
