Ingredients

  • 2-3 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon coarse pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce

Instructions

  • Rub the 2-3 pounds pork tenderloin with 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon coarse pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Lay the seasoned pork in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side then remove from heat.
  • Add the water to the crockpot and place the pork inside. Cook the pork on LOW for 6-8 hours.
  • In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 teaspoon minced garlic, ½ cup water, 1 cup brown sugar, 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch, ½ cup balsamic vinegar, and ¼ cup soy sauce.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and stir until the sauce thickens. Slowly add more cornstarch if needed.
  • Brush the roast with the glaze 2-3 times in the last hour of cooking. Remove the pork roast from the crockpot and place it on an aluminum foil-lined pan. Brush more of the glaze on top and broil on HIGH for 2-3 minutes until the desired crust is achieved.
  • With two forks shred the pork and serve with rice, potatoes, or in sandwiches. Serve with the remaining glaze on the side.
