Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For searing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until it’s nicely browned.
Slow Cooking
  1. Place the seared pork in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over it.
  2. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or until the pork is tender and cooked through.
  3. Remove the pork, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with the glaze drizzled on top.

Notes

Sear the pork for flavor and let it rest before slicing to lock in the juices. Customize your glaze with a splash of orange juice or vinegar for a citrusy twist. For larger servings, double the recipe while maintaining the cooking time.
