Garlic Herb Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin Food

GARLIC AND HERB SLOW COOKER PORK AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place carrots, potatoes, and onions in the bottom of a large slow cooker. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, garlic and salt over the vegetables and toss to coat.
• Place pork on top of the vegetables.
• Add lemon to the slow cooker and pour chicken broth over everything.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
• I don't think that broccoli cooks well in the slow cooker because it gets mushy. Instead, I prefer to steam my broccoli separately so that it's just crisp-tender, and then stir it into the pot at the end of the cooking time.
• As an alternative, you can stir the raw broccoli into the slow cooker during the final 1 hour of cooking time so that it has an opportunity to cook with the rest of the dish, but it doesn't become overcooked.
• Slice pork loin just before serving.

GARLIC HERB CROCK POT PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Remove the pork loin from the packaging and pat it dry with paper towels.
• In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, herbs, and pepper. Use a fork to combine well.
• Spread the butter mixture all over the pork loin and then place the pork in the bottom of your slow cooker.
• Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 5 or until the pork reaches 145 degrees F in the center.
• When the pork is cooked through, remove from the slow cooker. Let the pork rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
• After the pork has rested, slice it into rounds and serve right away.

HERB-MARINATED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, mustard, and 2 teaspoons salt in a sturdy 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the pork tenderloins and turn to coat with the marinade. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and discard the marinade but leave the herbs that cling to the meat. Sprinkle the tenderloins generously with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown. Place the saute pan in the oven and roast the tenderloins for 10 to 15 minutes or until the meat registers 137 degrees F at the thickest part. Transfer the tenderloins to a platter and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Carve in 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices. The thickest part of the tenderloin will be quite pink (it's just fine!) and the thinnest part will be well done. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm, or at room temperature with the juices that collect in the platter.

HERB SEARED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• 3 or 4 days before (or at least 24-hrs), put oil and garlic in a small jar.
• Cover and let "infuse" at room temperature.
• Combine finely chopped herbs with salt & pepper on a platter.
• Rub tenderloin down with garlic-infused oil.
• Roll tenderloin in herb mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate for 1/2 hour.
• Pre-heat oven to 400°.
• Heat 2 T of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Sear tenderloin on all sides until golden brown.
• Move to a baking dish.
• Cook in oven 10-15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 140°.
• Once removed from the oven, it will continue to cook & reach 145-150°.
• Let rest 15 minutes, slice & serve.

GARLIC HERB GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Cut a horizontal slit in the pork tenderloin, leaving the halves attached. Rub tenderloin with olive oil.
• Insert garlic into the slit and on onto the fatty part of pork.
• Press thyme and rosemary into slit. Sprinkle tenderloin with salt and pepper
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Place pork on grill.

SLOW COOKER BACON-HERB WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN

• Set on low and cook for 4-6 hours or until internal temperature of 145 degrees F is reached.
• Removed from slow cooker and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Also removed juices from slow cooker and let cool slightly, they will thicken up like a syrup.
• Slice tenderloin and drizzle with thicken juices.
