Brown Sugar Balsamic Pork Tenderloin

A tender pork tenderloin slow-cooked and glazed with a sweet and tangy brown sugar and balsamic glaze, perfect for a family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 2-pound boneless pork tenderloin
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Combine sage, salt, pepper, and garlic. Rub over the pork tenderloin.
  2. Place 1/2 cup water in the slow cooker and add the pork tenderloin. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
  3. About 1 hour before the pork is done, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup water, and soy sauce in a small saucepan. Heat and stir until the mixture thickens.
  4. Brush the glaze over the pork tenderloin 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking.
  5. Serve with the remaining glaze on the side.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the pork in the glaze mixture for a few hours before cooking. This recipe pairs well with roasted or mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
