Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown tenderloins on all sides, about 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, mix together chicken broth, teriyaki sauce, and brown sugar in a bowl. Stir in onion, garlic, red chile peppers, and black pepper.
  3. Put browned tenderloins in a slow cooker and cover with teriyaki sauce mixture. Cook on Low for about 4 hours, turning 2 to 3 times during cooking time to ensure even doneness. The internal temperature of tenderloins should reach 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  4. Remove tenderloins from the slow cooker and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Spoon liquid over slices when serving, if desired.
