Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves minced garlic
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, and onion powder.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork loin, ensuring all sides are coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork loin on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side, until the exterior is golden brown. This step locks in flavor.
Transfer the seared pork loin to the slow cooker.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, honey, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic.
Pour the liquid mixture over the pork loin in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the pork loin is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Optional: To thicken the sauce, transfer the liquid from the slow cooker to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until reduced to your desired consistency.
Slice the pork loin, serve with the sauce drizzled on top, and enjoy!
