Cooking Instructions:
Begin by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until it's browned, which should take about 3-4 minutes per side. This step adds depth of flavor but is optional if you're short on time.
Once seared, place the pork tenderloin into the crockpot. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic on top of the meat.
In a separate bowl, mix together the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the pork and onions in the crockpot.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
When ready, remove the pork from the crockpot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the onions and sauce from the crockpot drizzled over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
For the best results, make sure to not lift the lid of the crockpot while it's cooking, as this can release heat and extend cooking time.
Additionally, if you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days, making them perfect for quick lunches or dinners throughout the week.
Enjoy your delicious crockpot pork tenderloin!
