Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork loin roast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and paprika.
Rub the pork loin roast with olive oil, then generously coat it with the prepared spice mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides for 3-4 minutes per side, until it is browned. This step locks in the flavor.
Place the diced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of your crock pot, creating a base layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, and honey. Pour this mixture over the onions and garlic in the crock pot.
Place the seared pork loin roast on top of the onion and broth mixture in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the crock pot and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Strain the cooking liquid into a small saucepan, discarding the solids.
In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Bring the cooking liquid in the saucepan to a simmer over medium heat, then whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Slice the pork loin roast and serve with the thickened gravy drizzled over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
