Servings :

Total Time:

4 servings

1 hour 40 minutes

Ingredients

2 tsp minced garlic 1 tsp minced ginger 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup 2 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tsp Chinese five spice 1 chicken stock cube , crumbled Half cinnamon stick 1 star anise For the Pork 2 lb (900g) pork tenderloin (pork fillet) For the sauce 1 tsp cornstarch (cornflour) ¼ cup (60ml) orange juice or water

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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).

Step 5

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.
