Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Loin

Method

1. 1

   Trim the silver skin and any excess fat from the pork loin. Season the whole thing with salt and pepper and set aside on a large plate.

2. 2

   Optional Step: In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the pork loin and brown both sides for 3-4 minutes. {This step is optional to add more flavor to the pork}.

3. 3

   Add the pork loin and onion into the slow cooker.

4. 4

   In a small mixing bowl combine the minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, ginger and pineapple chunks and juice and mix well.

5. 5

   Pour the pineapple mixture over the pork loin and make sure it is covering the pork well.

6. 6

   Cook on low for 4 hours {or until pork is 145 degrees F} or 6-8 hours if you want to shred the pork.

7. 7

   Remove the pork from the crockpot and put on a serving platter and cover with foil to rest for 5 minutes. You can slice the pork or shred the pork if it is tender enough. Serve over white rice and garnish the pork with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds.
