With just a handful of ingredients, including honey, garlic, and soy sauce, create this Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Tenderloin that's easy and delicious! Let your crock pot do the work, and in a few hours, you'll be enjoying tender slices of pork smothered in a savory-sweet sauce.
If your pork tenderloin exceeds the length of your slow cooker, cut it in half horizontally and add to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
Add honey, ketchup, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and onion in a medium bowl. Mix until well combined and pour over the top of the pork tenderloin.
Cook on high for 2- 2 ½ hours or low for 4 hours until the pork tenderloin reaches 145°F.
Transfer the tenderloin from the slow cooker to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before you start slicing.
Slice and serve with sauce over the top. Enjoy!
Notes
To cook this in the oven, place the pork in a baking dish, cover it with the sauce, then use foil to cover the dish. Bake at 350°F for about 25-30 minutes. Uncover it and bake for an extra 10-15 minutes until the pork reaches 160°F inside.
Let the pork sit for a couple of minutes once taken out of the slow cooker; this will aid in redistributing the juices and maintaining the meat's juiciness.
