It's a very quiet Sunday and although my knee is still hurting we must eat so thinking ahead of myself I took a pork tenderloin out of the freezer last night and I'm putting together something in my crockpot for our dinner.
I mixed a few herbs and spices together for a rub type seasoning hopefully to combine some flavors and add a sweet sauce to enhance it.
Pork is very versatile white meat. Add a sauce to top it and you can make each pork dish different and using your crockpot makes it even easier. Tasty and easy. You can't get much better.
Rice as a side and a vegetable and you're set. Avoiding carbs eliminate the starch.
Enjoy!
1 lb. + pork tenderloin
3 T olive oil
1/2 tsp.garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. red pepper
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
Sprinkle pork tenderloin with above seasoning. In a medium size pan place 3 T. olive oil and gently sear pork on both sides until browned. Add a little water (about 1/2 cup) to pan and scrape all the sides of the plan and add to crockpot.
Place pork in crockpot on low approximately 3 hours or more.
Sauce
3 T. olive oil
2 large cloves garlic minced
1 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
In a small pot place olive oil and minced garlic. Simmer slowly for about 3 minutes being careful not to let garlic brown. Add soy sauce and honey. Stir and let simmer for approximately 5 minutes.
Remove pork tenderloin from crockpot. Discard drippings.
Slice and with a large spoon, spoon honey garlic sauce over pork or place sauce in a bowl for those who want to dip the pieces of pork separately.
Serve immediately.
Note: You can serve the pork without the sauce and in a gravy boat or a small bowl allow each to spoon sauce on pork to the liking.
