Slow Cooker Pork Loin Recipes

Steps:

• Place pork tenderloin in a slow cooker with the contents of the soup packet. Pour water, wine, and soy sauce over the top, turning the pork to coat. Carefully spread garlic over the pork, leaving as much on top of the roast during cooking as possible. Sprinkle with pepper, cover, and cook on low setting for 4 hours. Serve with cooking liquid on the side as au jus.

Steps:

• Cut roast in half. In a large skillet, brown roast in oil on all sides. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. In the same skillet, saute onion and celery until tender; add to slow cooker. , In a small bowl, combine gravy mix and water. Stir in the remaining ingredients; pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until meat is tender. Skim fat from cooking juices; thicken if desired. Serve with roast.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Place pork in the hot skillet and sear until brown on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork to a 6-quart slow cooker.
• Add garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, over medium-high heat until brown, about 5 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle flour over garlic and onion and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
• Pour chicken broth into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Pour broth mixture and honey over the pork in the slow cooker.
• Close the lid and cook on High for 3 hours or on Low for 6 hours, until pork is fork-tender. Transfer pork to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes. Pour cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Lightly mash the garlic cloves. Slice the pork, and serve with the mashed garlic cloves and sauce.

Steps:

• Trim the visible fat from the loin. If necessary, cut the roast to fit into a 3 1/2-, 4- or 5-quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, ginger, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub the spice mixture over the entire surface of the loin.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium to medium-high heat and brown the loin slowly on all sides. Drain off the fat. Transfer the loin to the slow cooker. Combine the chicken broth, lemon juice and soy sauce in a small bowl; pour over the loin. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours. When the roast is done, transfer the meat to a serving platter and cover to keep it warm.
• To make the gravy, pour the juices from the slow cooker into a glass measuring cup. Skim off the fat. Measure 2 cups of liquid, adding water to the juices if necessary to make 2 cups. Transfer the juices to a saucepan, reserving 1/2 cup. Stir the cornstarch into the reserved 1/2 cup of juices until dissolved, then stir into the juices in the saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the gravy is thickened and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the roast and serve it with the gravy.

Steps:

• Lightly crush the fennel seeds with the leaves from the thyme and the garlic in a pestle and mortar. Add 1 tbsp oil and plenty of salt and pepper, then bash to a rough paste. Rub all over the pork, then cover and chill for up to 24 hrs, if you have time (2 hrs if not).
• Set your slow cooker to a low heat. Pour a kettleful of boiling water over the shallots, then set aside for 2 mins until cool enough to handle - this will make them easier to peel. Cut off the root and remove the papery skins. Heat the remaining oil in a large casserole or frying pan large enough to fit the pork. Brown the shallots for a few mins then tip into the slow cooker. Add the celeriac and apples, season well and give them a mix.
• Brown the pork in the same pan, on all sides, not forgetting the ends. Sit on top of the veg and apples, fat-side up, nestling the joint in a little so you can fit the lid on. Pour the wine into the frying pan and bubble for a minute, scraping the bottom of the pan to pick up any tasty bits. Pour in the stock, honey and mustard, bubble for another min, then pour over the pork. Cover with a lid and cook on low for 5-6 hrs (depending on slow cooker size), turning the pork and stirring the veg halfway through cooking.
• Remove the pork, wrap in foil and leave to rest for 10 mins before carving to serve alongside the veg with roast potatoes and greens.

Steps:

• Prepare a thermocirculator and water bath according to manufacturer's directions. Set thermocirculator to 135 degrees F (58 degrees C); if you want pork cooked medium instead of medium-rare, set to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), and allow water bath to come up to temperature.
• Combine onion, wine, butter, Dijon mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, whole grain mustard, turbinado sugar, lemon zest, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon tarragon in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Place in microwave and cook on high power until butter melts and sugar dissolves, stirring halfway through, about 1 minute. (This yields 1 1/2 cups sauce).
• Place tenderloins in a vacuum-sealable bag with 3/4 cup of the mustard mixture and massage contents of bag to ensure meat is coated evenly in sauce, spacing tenderloins in a single layer in the bag. Seal bag with a vacuum sealer according to manufacturer's directions.
• Transfer vacuum-sealed tenderloins to warm water bath with thermocirculator; cover vessel with aluminum foil to reduce evaporation. Cook to desired doneness, 45 to 50 minutes; meat will be 135 or 145 degrees F (58 to 63 degrees C) when done depending on desired doneness.
• Remove bag from water bath, transfer meat to a plate and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear tenderloins in skillet until deeply browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes. Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel if any drippings are too dark.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 3/4 cup mustard sauce to skillet and allow to come to a simmer, reducing until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add cream and remaining 1/2 teaspoon tarragon to skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spatula, about 1 minute. Slice tenderloins and serve with sauce.
