Delicious and tender pork cooked in the slow cooker with a honey, lime, soy, garlic, and ginger infused marinade. We loved it so much we had it twice in one week!

Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds pork loin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Honey Lime Ginger Marinade
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
