Ingredients

• 3 pounds Pork sirloin roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 1 can (13.5 ounces) Coconut milk
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork sirloin roast with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.

Step 2

Place the roast in the slow cooker, fat side up. Add the finely diced onion around the roast.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 4

Pour the peanut sauce mixture over the pork roast in the slow cooker, ensuring the roast is well-coated.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the pork roast from the slow cooker and set it on a cutting board. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing or shredding.

Step 7

Optional: If the sauce in the slow cooker is too thin, transfer it to a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes to thicken.

Step 8

Serve the pork roast warm with the peanut sauce drizzled on top. Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro.

Step 9

Pair with steamed jasmine rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
