Ingredients

  • 2-3 lb pork loin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or your favorite herb)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Optional: fresh herbs (like parsley for garnish)

Directions

  1. 1

    Season the Pork Loin: Rub the pork loin with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme, making sure to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork (Optional): In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the pork loin for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds flavor but is optional.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.

  4. 4

    Add to Crock Pot: Place the seasoned pork loin in the crock pot and pour the sauce mixture over it.

  5. 5

    Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

  6. 6

    Rest and Slice: Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the crock pot and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

  7. 7

    Serve: Slice the pork and serve it with the cooking juices drizzled over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
