Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 8 hours

Additional Time 10 minutes

Total Time 8 hours 25 minutes

Ingredients

3 lb boneless pork loin

4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tbsp dried)
2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp onion powder

1½ cups chicken or beef broth
3 large carrots, chopped
3 potatoes, chopped

1 onion, sliced
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional, for added depth of flavor)

Instructions

Prepare the Pork Loin: Pat the pork loin dry with a paper towel. Rub it with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, and onion powder to evenly coat the surface.

Sear the Meat for Extra Flavor: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides until golden brown (about 3 minutes per side). This enhances the flavor and keeps the meat juicy.
Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the chopped carrots, potatoes, and onions at the bottom of the slow cooker. These vegetables will absorb the pork’s delicious juices.
Add Liquid: Pour in the broth and balsamic vinegar (if using). This keeps the pork moist and helps build a flavorful sauce.

Slow Cook the Pork: Place the seared pork loin on top of the vegetables. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until the pork is fork-tender.
Rest and Serve: Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the vegetables and spoon over the flavorful broth.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, remove the pork and whisk in 1 tbsp of cornstarch mixed with water into the slow cooker liquid. Let it thicken for 5 minutes.

For a crispy exterior, broil the pork for 5 minutes after slow cooking.
Pair with a side of crusty bread to soak up the juices.
