This healthy and easy Crockpot Balsamic Pork recipe is a favorite for family dinners but fancy enough for a special meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs lean pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar (or honey/maple syrup or Stevia for low carb)
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder (or more to taste)
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine the vinegar, chicken broth, and soy sauce.

  2. 2

    Combine the sugar, cumin, garlic powder, chile powder if using, salt, and pepper. Be careful with the salt since the soy sauce is salty. You can always add more after cooking.

  3. 3

    Rub the pork with the brown sugar mixture and place in the slow cooker. Pour vinegar mixture over top.

  4. 4

    Cook on low for 6-8 hours until very tender.

  5. 5

    If desired top with balsamic glaze or reduce the cooking liquid to create your own glaze.

  6. 6

    For a crisp exterior, place under a hot broiler for 4-5 minutes.
