* 3 lb pork loin, cut little slits all around the pork * 1 ½ tsp garlic powder * ½ tsp ground ginger * 1 ½ tsp onion powder * ½ tsp kosher salt * ½ tsp dried thyme * ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper * 2 TB vegetable oil * 2 cups regular strength chicken broth * 2 TB lemon juice * 2 TB soy sauce, regular strength * 3 TB cornstarch, completely dissolved in 3 TB water* * salt and pepper to taste
# Instructions
* In a small bowl, whisk together garlic powder, ground ginger, onion powder, salt, thyme, and pepper. Rub seasoning all over the entire surface of pork loin. Do not trim pork loin, as it needs a bit of fat for a tender result. * Heat oil in a large skillet until very hot. Brown pork loin on all 4 sides, a few minutes per side. * Transfer pork loin to slow cooker. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Pour over the pork. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. * When finished, baste pork loin and transfer the pork to a plate and keep warm. * Pour all the liquid from the slow cooker into a sauce pan. Add dissolved corn starch. Stir well. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce turns thick and gravy-like. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. * Serve warm pork loin with gravy.

I could never do that to a nice loin.
looks juicy, flavourful, and taters are literally glowing, only thing i’d add personally is a vegi, yum!
Nicely done!
I had no idea that people slow-cooked a lean cut like a pork loin. That method is generally reserved for cuts with a lot of connective tissue and fat.
