Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 to 1.5 lbs each)
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wipe the pork tenderloins clean with a paper towel. Trim off any excess silver skin or fat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mix evenly over both pork tenderloins.
- Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Place the seasoned pork tenderloins on top of the broth in the slow cooker. Drizzle the olive oil over the pork.
- Cover the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours or on HIGH for 1.5 to 2 hours. The pork is done when an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit is reached.
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Notes
- For a simple glaze, mix 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and pour over the pork during the last 30 minutes of cooking on HIGH.
- Serve this tender pork tenderloin in a slow cooker with roasted potatoes or steamed green beans for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a pulled pork tenderloin texture, shred the meat with two forks after resting.
