Directions
-
Place the pork tenderloins in the slow cooker.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic, vinegar, oregano, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes.
-
Pour the sauce over the pork, turning to coat evenly.
-
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the pork is tender enough to shred easily.
-
Remove the pork and let it rest briefly before slicing or shredding.
-
For a thicker sauce, transfer the liquid to a saucepan and simmer for 5–10 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
-
Serve the pork topped with the warm sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with creamy mashed potatoes, buttered corn, or a simple green salad with tangy vinaigrette to balance the richness. For a truly comforting meal, add homemade rolls to savor every drop of the glaze.
