Ingredients

• 2 Pork Tenderloins (about 500g each) or 1 Large Tenderloin

• 1 tsp Sage

• 1 tsp Salt

• 1 tsp Black Pepper

• 2 Garlic Cloves, Minced

• 1/2 Cup Water (for slow cooker)

• 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar

• 1 Tbsp Cornflour

• 1/3 Cup Balsamic Vinegar

• 1/2 Cup Water (for glaze)

• 3 Tbsp Soy Sauce

Directions

• In a small bowl, mix together the sage, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Rub this seasoning mix all over the pork tenderloins.
• Prepare your slow cooker by pouring 0.5 cup of water into the bottom. Place the seasoned pork tenderloins on top.
• Cook on a low setting for 6-8 hours.
• One hour before the meat has finished cooking, whisk together the brown sugar, cornflour, balsamic vinegar, 0.5 cup water, and soy sauce in a small saucepan to create the glaze. Heat over medium heat until it starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
• Brush the tenderloins with the glaze 2-3 times during the last hour of cooking.
• Once the tenderloins are cooked, remove them onto a chopping board and pull apart using two forks.
• Serve with the remaining glaze and your choice of side dishes.

Notes

• Ensure the pork tenderloins are fully coated with the seasoning mix for maximum flavour.
• For a thicker glaze, allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• You can substitute honey for brown sugar for a different flavour profile
• Leftover pork can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• This recipe pairs well with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh sala
