Ingredients
- 3 lb pork loin cut little slits all around the pork
- 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 1 ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 TB vegetable oil
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 TB lemon juice
- 2 TB soy sauce regular strength
- 3 TB cornstarch completely dissolved in 3 TB water*
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, ground ginger, onion powder, salt, thyme, and pepper. Rub seasoning all over the entire surface of pork loin. Do not trim pork loin, as it needs a bit of fat for a tender result.
- Heat oil in a large skillet until very hot. Brown pork loin on all 4 sides, a few minutes per side.
- Transfer pork loin to slow cooker. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Pour over the pork. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
- When finished, baste pork loin and transfer the pork to a plate and keep warm.
- Pour all the liquid from the slow cooker into a sauce pan. Add dissolved corn starch. Stir well. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce turns thick and gravy-like. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
- Serve warm pork loin with gravy.

- It's important that cornstarch is fully dissolved in water prior to using in recipe. There should be no white spots or streaks that remain. It should have somewhat of a "chocolate milk" appearance (even miniature cornstarch bits that aren't fully dissolved will result in a lumpy gravy, which we don't want.)
- This recipe is written for pork loins. If you're using the smaller cuts of pork tenderloins, reduce cook time to about 4 hours.
- Don't forget to cut slits in the pork loin before cooking. This will allow any fat on the outside as well as the broth mixture to really penetrate the meat leaving it extra tender and flavorful.
- Pat the pork loin dry with some paper towels before rubbing on the spices to help them stick better.
- Gluten-Free: Use tamari soy sauce for a gluten-free dish.
