Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork tenderloin, see shopping tip
- 1 cup onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Preparation
Step 1
1. Place pork tenderloin in the crock-pot. Sprinkle onions over the top and around pork. In a small bowl, mix together all remaining ingredients. Pour over pork and set the timer for crock-pot. 2½-3 hours on High or 5 ½-6 hours on Low. The cook time varies a bit depending on your crock-pot.
2. Once the pork has cooked, remove from crock-pot onto a cutting board. Cut pork into thin slices. Add pork slices to a serving dish. Pour about ½ cup of sauce including onions over pork. You only use half the sauce. The leftover sauce is great to use mashed into a baked potato or drizzle over leftover
