Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin
Ingredient
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 pounds pork tenderloin
-
1 cup chicken broth
-
½ cup teriyaki sauce
-
¼ cup brown sugar
-
½ large onion, sliced
-
4 cloves garlic, chopped
-
3 fresh red chile peppers, chopped, or to taste
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Direction
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown tenderloins on all sides, about 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, mix together chicken broth, teriyaki sauce, and brown sugar in a bowl. Stir in onion, garlic, red chile peppers, and black pepper.
-
Put browned tenderloins in a slow cooker and cover with teriyaki sauce mixture. Cook on Low for about 4 hours, turning 2 to 3 times during cooking time to ensure even doneness. The internal temperature of tenderloins should reach 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
-
Remove tenderloins from the slow cooker and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Spoon liquid over slices when serving, if desired.
