Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork loin
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork loin evenly with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub spices into the meat and set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the pork loin on all sides until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
Step 4
Place the diced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the crock pot. Lay the seared pork loin on top of the onions.
Step 5
Pour the prepared liquid mixture evenly over the pork loin.
Step 6
Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the crock pot and cover with foil to rest while you prepare the sauce.
Step 8
Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the liquid, bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Slice or shred the pork loin, drizzle with the prepared sauce, and serve hot.
