Slow Cooker Balsamic Brown Sugar Pork Tenderloin

Slow Cooked Glazed Pork Tenderloin

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:

1. Pour enough water or stock to have about 1/2 inch of water in the slow cooker insert.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Cook on low for about 5 hours.
5. 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.
6. Remove from slow cooker and transfer to a foil lined baking sheet and turn oven to broil setting.
7. 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.
8. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy!
