Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds pork tenderloin
1 cup chicken broth
0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
0.25 cup brown sugar
0.5 large onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
3 fresh red chile peppers, chopped, or to taste
0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork tenderloins on all sides until nicely seared, about 10 minutes.
In a bowl, combine chicken broth, teriyaki sauce, and brown sugar. Add onion, garlic, red chile peppers, and black pepper, then stir well.
Place browned pork tenderloins in your slow cooker and pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over them. Cook on Low for approximately 4 hours, turning the tenderloins 2 to 3 times to ensure they cook evenly. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Take the pork tenderloins out of the slow cooker and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. If you like, spoon the leftover liquid over the slices when serving.
