Ingredients

2 pork tenderloins - often sold in a 2-pack
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
⅔ cup chicken broth or water
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup honey - I like to use a keto-friendly alternative
1 tablespoon brown mustard
1 tablespoon xanthan gum or cornstarch

Instructions

Place the tenderloins in the cooker.
Combine the garlic, parsley, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine and then sprinkle over the top of the tenderloins.
Whisk the broth, balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, and xanthan gum in a separate medium bowl until combined. Pour into the cooker, avoiding the seasoning on the pork so it doesn’t wash off.
Cover and cook on high for 90 min- 2 hours, or 3-4 hours on low - depending on your cooker. Ensure the pork reaches 150-160 degrees internal temperature before removing and serving.
Prior to serving, remove and let rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
Slice and serve immediately with a drizzle of the sauce on top. Or you can nestle it back into the cooker to coat it with the sauce to keep it warm while you prepare your side dishes.

Notes

*If it looks a bit dry during the cooking process, you can add more broth or water. ¼ - ⅓ cup is usually enough.
