Category: Crockpot

2 Tbsp olive oil
2 lbs pork loin
½ cup Szechuan sauce
1 cup chicken broth
¼ cup brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3 fresh red chile pepper, finely chopped
½ large onion, sliced
¼ tsp black pepper


1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown loins on all sides, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together Szechuan sauce, chicken broth, and brown sugar in a bowl. Stir in garlic, red chile pepper, onion, and black pepper.
2. Put browned tenderloins into slow cooker, cover with the Szechuan sauce mixture. Cook on Low for about 4 hours, turning 2 to 3 times during the cooking time to ensure even doneness. Internal temperature in the tenderloin should reach 180 degrees F.
3. Remove tenderloins from the slow cooker and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. If desired, spoon liquid over slices when serving.
