SLOW COOKER PORK TENDERLOIN

Ingredients

• 2 pork tenderloins (about 2 lbs. total)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 5 garlic cloves, minced or grated (about 2 ½ tablespoons) OR substitute with ¾ teaspoon of dried garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme OR 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary OR 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Pat pork dry with paper towels and place in a slow cooker.
2. In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, garlic, salt, thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Rub mixture all over the pork tenderloins.
3. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 1 ½ – 3 hours. You can leave the pork on LOW in the slow cooker for up to 8 hours, which will give it a fall-apart tender texture, similar to pulled pork. If you prefer to slice your pork tenderloin, cook it for less time so that it’s just cooked through and reaches 145 degrees F.
4. Remove pork to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
