What is pork tenderloin?

Pork tenderloin is a long, thinner cut of meat that is lean, making it perfect for roasting.

Because it’s so lean, tenderloins have a tendency to dry out, but when topped with this incredible honey garlic sauce, it’s juicy, tender and the perfect blend of sweet and savory. It’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious!

What internal temperature should pork tenderloin be cooked to?

Your pork tenderloin should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (62°C). The most effective way to do this (and to prevent your meat from being overcooked) is by inserting a digital thermometer horizontally through the end of the cylindrical tenderloin to check for doneness.

If you don’t have one, that’s okay too. Just make sure your pork is no longer pink in the center before serving.

Once your pork loin has reached the proper temperature allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes.

How to make your tenderloin in the slow cooker

If you want to cook your pork loin in the slow cooker, here’s how:

Quickly sear the pork tenderloin(s), cut slits in the top as directed and place in the slow cooker. Prepare the sauce and pour it over the tenderloin; cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours. If you’re at home, spoon sauce over tenderloin(s) every hour or so.

Check for doneness with a digital thermometer; it should register at 145°F when done.
