Ingredients:
Spice Rub
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 Teaspoon Sage
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Glaze
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Corn Starch
- 1/4 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 Cup Water or Vegetable Stock
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
Other
- Tin Foil
- Water or extra Stock
- Bay Leaves
Instructions:
- Pour enough water or stock to have about 1/2 inch of water in the slow cooker insert.
- In a small bowl mash together the minced garlic and spices for the spice rub. Add the olive oil and stir to create a paste.
- Rub the spice blend all over the pork tenderloin, leaving a little bit of the rub to press into the top. Place the prepared tenderloin in the slow cooker. Add a few bay leaves.
- Cook on low for about 5 hours.
- In a small sauce pan whisk together all the ingredients for the glaze. Bring to a boil over medium heat and reduce for about 5 minutes, until thickened and like a syrup.
- Remove from slow cooker and transfer to a foil lined baking sheet and turn oven to broil setting.
- Glaze the tenderloin generously with the prepared sauce. Place under broiler for about 3 minutes. Remove from oven, glaze again and broil for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from oven, glaze once more, and broil for 3 minutes.
- Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
Enjoy!
