This recipe from allrecipes.com is not only easy and quick to cook (relatively - we are talking about a slow cooker here!), but deliciously moist too.
Ingredients:
1 - 2 lb pork tenderloin
1 - 1 ounce envelope dry onion soup mix
1 cup water
3/4 cup red wine
3 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons soy sauce
ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Place pork tenderloin in a slow cooker with the contents of the soup packet.
2. Pour water, wine, and soy sauce over the top, turning the pork to coat.
3. Carefully spread garlic over the pork, leaving as much on top of the roast while cooking as possible.
4. Sprinkle with pepper, cover, and cook on low setting for 4 hours.
5. Serve with cooking liquid on the side as au jus.
What we did differently (it's what we do!):
Not much different this time! I did mix the water, wine, and soy sauce together in a small mixing bowl before pouring over the pork, so I could be sure all three ingredients reached all of the pork. I chose an Australian Merlot to cook with - Lindeman's for $5.99/bottle at Food Lion. I will also say that this wine was great for drinking - you often find some hidden gems in the inexpensive wines! We served with mashed potatoes & steamed broccoli & there was plenty of flavorful au jus for the meat & the potatoes.
