Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork sirloin roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork sirloin roast with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
Place the roast in the slow cooker, fat side up. Add the finely diced onion around the roast.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Pour the peanut sauce mixture over the pork roast in the slow cooker, ensuring the roast is well-coated.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the pork roast from the slow cooker and set it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
Optional: If the sauce in the slow cooker is too thin, transfer it to a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes to thicken.
Serve the pork roast warm with the peanut sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro.
Pair with steamed jasmine rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
