Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds pork loin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons lime juice, (about 1 lime)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger, (or 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- chopped cilantro, (for garnish)
- lime wedges, (for garnish)
Steps
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 2.5 pounds pork loin with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, then add it to the pan. Cook the pork, turning it every 1-2 minutes until every side has been browned. Remove it from the skillet and place the pork into the bottom of a lightly greased slow cooker.
-
Whisk together ½ cup honey, ¼ cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons lime juice, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger, in a small bowl. Pour the sauce over the pork and cover.
-
Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 4-6 hours, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the pork has finished cooking, remove it from the slow cooker onto a serving plate and cover it with aluminum foil.
-
Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a medium saucepan. Whisk in 2 tablespoons cornstarch and cook over medium-high heat for a few minutes, until it thickens into a sauce.
-
Pour the sauce over the pork. Garnish with chopped cilantro, and lime wedges, if desired, and serve.
