Wow two pork recipes in a row… I showed you how to make pork loin roast in an Air Fryer last week. Now it’s time for the Slow Cooker to shine, with this easy pork tenderloin recipe.

Pork tenderloin, a.k.a pork fillet or pork steak, is a super lean and tender boneless cut of pork. It is relatively inexpensive and with this slow cooker method you can ensure it will be delicious too!

I have used just a handful of ingredients to make this asian-inspired pork tenderloin recipe. The marinade turns into a salty-sweet sticky sauce flavoured with garlic and ginger – yum!

  • Pork fillet, cut in half if needed
  • Soy sauce or Tamari (which is gluten free)
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Chinese five spice
  • Minced garlic and grated ginger
  • Star anise and cinnamon stick (optional)
  • Chicken stock cube
  • A little cornstarch (cornflour) to thicken the sauce
  • Spring onions, to serve (optional)

How to Make Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin

Full measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page. Please take a look at the steps and video before attempting this recipe!

Add all the marinade ingredients in the slow cooker insert and stir to combine. Turn the pork fillet a few times to coat in the marinade. Slice the tenderloin in half if it is too long to fit in the crockpot.

Cook for about 2 hours on the LOW setting or until the internal temperature registers a minimum of 155°F / 68°C on a digital thermometer. The temperature will rise slightly while you rest the meat.

Use tongs to take the pork fillet out of the slow cooker; place on a platter, cover loosely with foil and leave to stand for 5-7 minutes before slicing on the diagonal.

Thicken the sauce and serve

Dilute the cornstarch in a tablespoon of cold water. Strain all the juices from the slow cooker into a saucepan (or use the slow cooker insert if it allows for searing). 

Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring, until the sauce is slightly reduced. Serve with mashed sweet potatoes and steamed greens, drizzling with the sauce.

How do you cook pork tenderloin without drying out?

It’s hard (but not impossible!) to overcook pork tenderloin in a crockpot. The low cooking temperature and moist heat will keep the meat lovely and moist, provided you don’t overcook it.

Pork tenderloin is really thin and lean so it can cook very quickly, even in a slow cooker. Using a meat thermometer is always the best way to check whether the pork is cooked to perfection.
