Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork loin
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Season the pork loin evenly with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub spices into the meat and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the pork loin on all sides until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
Place the diced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the crock pot. Lay the seared pork loin on top of the onions.
Pour the prepared liquid mixture evenly over the pork loin.
Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the crock pot and cover with foil to rest while you prepare the sauce.
Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the liquid, bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Slice or shred the pork loin, drizzle with the prepared sauce, and serve hot.
