💭 Pork Loin vs Tenderloin

A pork loin and pork tenderloin are not the same. A pork tenderloin is a long, narrow and boneless cut of meat with very little fat while a pork loin is wider and flatter, usually has a fat cap and comes either boneless or bone-in.

I've included a special seasoning on the recipe card for the tenderloins but you don't have to use it if you don't want. As a substitute, I recommend you at least use some salt and ground black pepper.

If you don't have any beef broth on hand, you can either make your own with some Better than Bouillon or use some Vegetable Broth.

💭 Recipe Tip

Make sure you let the pork tenderloins rest after removing them from the slow cooker as this allows the meat to reabsorb its juices. You should be able to slice and serve 10-15 minutes after roasting.
