Crock Pot Balsamic Garlic Pork Tenderloin is a savory dish that combines the rich flavors of balsamic vinegar, garlic, and tender pork fillet. This recipe is perfect for a hearty and flavorful meal without much hassle, as your slow cooker does most of the work. With just a few ingredients and minimal preparation, you can enjoy a delicious and tender pork tenderloin that pairs well with a variety of sides.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pork: Rinse the pork fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat if needed.
2. Sear the Pork: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the pork fillet. Sear the fillet on all sides until it is browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step helps to lock in the juices and adds flavor.
3. Prepare the Garlic: While the pork is searing, mince the garlic cloves finely.
4. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk together until well mixed.
5. Transfer to Crock Pot: Place the seared pork fillet into the crock pot. Pour the balsamic garlic sauce over the pork, ensuring that the fillet is evenly coated.
6. Cook: Cover the crock pot with its lid. Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. The pork should be tender and easily shredded with a fork.
7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the tenderloin from the crock pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding. Spoon some of the sauce from the crock pot over the pork for added flavor.
8. Optional Garnish: For an added touch, sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley or cilantro over the top before serving.

Tips:

- For even more flavor, you can marinate the pork fillet in the balsamic mixture for a few hours or overnight before placing it in the crock pot.

- Make sure to sear the pork tenderloin on all sides in a skillet before adding it to the crock pot. This step locks in the juices and adds a delicious crust to the meat.

- Use fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor. If you prefer a milder garlic taste, you can slightly sauté the garlic in olive oil before adding it to the crock pot.

- If you like your sauce a bit thicker, you can remove the pork tenderloin once it is cooked and let the sauce reduce by continuing to cook it in the crock pot on a high setting for about 20-30 minutes.

- Serve the pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables to complete your meal.

This Crock Pot Balsamic Garlic Pork Tenderloin is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.
