Calories: 170kcal
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pork tenderloins about 1 pound each
- 4 teaspoons olive oil divided
- 1 yellow onion sliced
Combine the brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk or stir to combine.
1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Place the pork tenderloins on a plate or cutting board and pat dry with paper towels. Trim off any silver skin. Sprinkle the seasonings over all sides of the pork and gently rub into the meat.
2 pork tenderloins
Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion to the pan and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion to the slow cooker.
1 yellow onion
Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan. Add the seasoned pork tenderloins to the pan. Brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Then transfer the pork to the slow cooker on top of the onions.
Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until pork registers at least 145° F in the center when measured with an instant read thermometer.
Let pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- This recipe can be halved to cook one pork tenderloin instead of two. If you are only cooking one tenderloin, it may cook a bit faster. The pork is done when the center registers 145° F on an instant read thermometer.
- Leftover pork tenderloin can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it and serve with side dishes, or add BBQ sauce and serve on a burger bun for a delicious pork sandwich.
