Marinated Slow Cooker Pork Loin

I made this moist Pork Loin by marinating it overnight, covering it in a rub, searing it in a skillet and I cooked it in the slow cooker over a bed of onions. My 8 year old grandson cleaned his plate and my husband went back for seconds! This has a lot of small steps but it was very easy to make. It is the only way I will make a pork loin again.

My pork loin was too long for my slow cooker so I cut it in half.

Make the marinade the night before you plan on cooking. I doubled my marinade so I could put each half of pork loin in their own bag.

Place each pork loin in a bag and remove as much air from the bag as you can, then seal the bag.

Place the bag upright in a bowl in case they leak. I clipped my two bags together. Try to cover the pork completely with the marinade. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Do not rinse the pork but instead pat it dry with clean paper towels then place the pork into a large bowl.

In a small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients with your hands.

Rub oil all over the pork with your hands.

Pat all of the dry rub onto the pork, covering it all.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Brown the pork over medium heat on all sides in the skillet then remove to a plate, leaving the oil in the skillet.

Add the onion to the skillet and stir into the oil. Cook until about halfway cooked through.

Spread the onion and any liquid onto the bottom of the slow cooker.

Place the pork loin on top of the onions, fat side up.

Pour the chicken broth along the side of the pork loin and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until 145º in the center. Mine was at temperature in 4 hours. Place the pork loin on a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes, slice and serve.

Worked well yes, the flavour of the spices really does get into the meat. Needs to be left for a while though in the fridge to infuse properly

Another keeper! The rub is very similar to the one I used the other night on pork chops.

It took me forever to create my rub. I use it on my ribs with BBQ sauce too. We had a local restaurant here years ago that sold ribs and it was our favorite rib place. When they closed I came up with this rub and it tastes just like theirs did. Thank you Karla!
