Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork tenderloin
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Start by trimming any visible fat from the pork tenderloin. Place the trimmed pork into the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, chopped onion, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Pour the mixture evenly over the pork in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 7 hours (or high for 4 hours).
After the pork is cooked and tender, remove it from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Turn the crock pot to high. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the liquid in the crock pot to thicken the sauce. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Return the shredded pork to the crock pot and stir to coat it evenly with the sauce.
Serve hot. This pork pairs well with steamed vegetables, brown rice, or whole-grain tortillas for a complete WW Core-friendly meal.
