Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Remove any excess moisture from the pork tenderloins, by patting them dry with a paper towel. Season the tenderloins on all sides with salt, pepper, thyme, ground mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop with the olive oil.
- When the oil shimmers, sear the pork tenderloins in the skillet for 3-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. (Set the skillet aside to make gravy later!)
- Place the pork tenderloins in the slow cooker and add the onions, apples, garlic, and chicken broth.
- Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours, until the pork is fork-tender. (I recommend low for 4 hours for a juicy tenderloin)
- Let the tenderloins rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes and drain the juices from the slow cooker for gravy.
- Melt the butter over medium heat on the stovetop, in the skillet used to sear the pork, whisk in the flour, and let the mixture cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in the juices, while whisking, along with the apples and onions, if desired.
- Next, whisk in the dijon mustard and maple syrup and let the gravy simmer for 2-3 minutes until it's thickened.
- Slice the pork tenderloins into pieces and serve with the pan gravy.
Notes
- Pork - A pork loin roast can be used instead of pork tenderloin. It is larger and fattier than a tenderloin so additional cook time will be needed.
- Onions - White, or red onions can be substituted if needed.
- Vegetables - Add chopped carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes, or regular potatoes in the slow cooker.
