Hawaiian Pork Loin (Slow Cooker)
This Hawaiian Pork Loin slow cooker recipe is sweet, savory and melt-in your mouth delicious. The pork loin is slow cooked with the flavors of pineapple, soy sauce and brown sugar and gives this dish a very balanced flavor.
Ingredients
- 2-3 lb pork loin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup soy or tamari sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 23.5 ounces can pineapple chunks with juice
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. While your pan is heating, pat the pork loin dry and season with salt and pepper.
- When your pan is hot, sear the loin on all sides, beginning with the fat side down, until the outside is caramelized and browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- While the pork is searing, open the can of pineapple and pour off the juice into a separate bowl with the soy sauce.
- Place half the chunks of pineapple in the bottom of your slow cooker then place the seared pork loin on top, fat side up. Add in the remaining pineapple and pour over the pineapple juice and soy sauce mixture. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.
- When the pork is done, remove from the slow cooker and set aside. Reserve some of the pineapple chunks for serving.
- Shred the pork and serve with the reserved pineapple chunks. Serve with brown rice and with a green salad like a crunchy ramen salad
