Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 pound pork loin
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar (loosely packed)
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic (5-6 cloves)
  • 1/2 cup bottled teriyaki sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic, teriyaki sauce and crushed red pepper. Set aside.
  • Rinse pork loin and pat dry.
  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place the pork loin fat side down in the heated skillet and brown on all sides; about 6 minutes.
  • Transfer pork to the slow cooker. Cut slits across the top of the pork, 1-2 inches apart and about 1-2 inches deep (not all the way through). Pour the marinade over the pork.
  • Cook on low for 5-6 hours, or internal temp reaches 140 degrees. Transfer to a cutting board and rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve with the juices from the slow cooker, if desired.
