Here’s a simple 3-ingredient slow-cooker pork tenderloin that tastes much more complicated than it is.
🍖 3-Ingredient Slow-Cooker Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
-
1 pork tenderloin, about 1–1½ lb (450–680 g)
-
1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
-
1 packet onion soup mix
Instructions
-
Place the pork tenderloin in the slow cooker.
-
Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the pork.
-
Pour the broth around the meat.
-
Cover and cook on LOW for about 3–4 hours, or until the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part.
-
Let the pork rest for 3 minutes, then slice and spoon some of the flavorful cooking juices over the top.
Easy upgrade
For a browned exterior, quickly sear the tenderloin in a hot skillet before putting it in the slow cooker. It’s an optional step, but it adds extra flavor.
Important: Pork tenderloin is relatively lean, so avoid cooking it for a very long time—the meat can become dry. A meat thermometer is the best way to know when it’s done.
