Crock Pot Pork Loin

Step 1

Place the pork loin roast, fat side up in the bottom of a slow cooker, set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the onions. Cook until translucent, about 5-8 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, cook, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Pour this over the roast.

Step 2

Whisk together the brown sugar, soda, vinegar, soy, and black pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Pour this on top of the roast.

Step 3

Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high 2-4 hours, I recommend slow cooking if you can. Pork is done when it is tender and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.

Step 4

Take the roast out and set it on a serving platter to rest. Pour the sauce into the skillet from earlier or another large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. In a small bowl whisk together the cornstarch and water, slowly stream this into the sauce while whisking constantly. Bring back to a simmer and simmer for 1 minute or until thickened. You can either pour the sauce on top of the roast or serve it on the side.

Step 5

Slice or shred the roast and serve.

Step 6

Add a garnish of parsley, optional.
