Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pork
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3 fresh red chile peppers, chopped, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and pour in olive oil to create a rich base. Sear tenderloins on all sides until they achieve a deep, caramelized brown color, approximately 10 minutes.
2
In the meantime, prepare an aromatic mixture by combining chicken broth, teriyaki sauce, and brown sugar in a bowl. Add diced onion, minced garlic, sliced red chile peppers, and ground black pepper to the bowl and stir until well combined.
3
Transfer the browned tenderloins to a slow cooker and pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Cook on Low for approximately 4 hours, periodically turning the tenderloins to guarantee even doneness. The internal temperature of the tenderloins should reach 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) to ensure food safety.
4
Once the tenderloins are cooked, remove them from the slow cooker and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with a spoonful of the rich, savory liquid that has accumulated during cooking, if desired.
