SLOW COOKER PORK LOIN

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Made

Ingredients

  • 3 lb pork loin, trimmed and cut little slits all around the pork
  • 11/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 11/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 TB vegetable oil
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 TB lemon juice
  • 2 TB regular soy sauce
  • 3 TB cornstarch, dissolved in 3 TB water
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, ground ginger, onion powder, salt, thyme, and pepper, whisking to combine. Rub seasoning all over the entire surface of pork loin.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet until very hot. Brown pork loin on all sides.

  3. Transfer pork loin to slow cooker. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Pour over the pork. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. (If using tenderloins, reduce cook time to about 4 hours.)

  4. When finished, baste pork loin and transfer the pork to a plate and keep warm.

  5. Pour all the liquid from the slow cooker into a sauce pan. Add dissolved corn starch. Stir well. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce turns thick and gravy-like. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

  6. Serve warm roast with gravy.
