Balsamic Glaze Tenderloin

​
Ingredients
1 (Pork or Turkey) Tenderloin.. I I Usually just buy the 1 pounders from the meat section of my grocery store. 
1/2 cup water
For Dry Rub
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic, crushed (or 1 tsp dried minced garlic)
For Glaze
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup water

(This may seem like an odd mix of ingredients but it is oh so yummy!)
 

1.Combine and mix together sage, salt, pepper and garlic. Rub over tenderloin.

​2.Place 1/2 cup water in slow cooker and then pork tenderloin.

​3.Cook on low for 6-8 hours. NOTE: It usually takes 6 hours on low for tenderloin to cook in my slow cooker – cooking time will vary based on your slow cooker. 

*I have put a frozen tenderloin in there before, yup I'm super lazy, and it came out fine cooking it on low for 8-10 hours.*
4.About 1 hour before tenderloin is done (But I have literally just done it 5 minutes before we ate it a few times), combine ingredients for glaze (brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and water) in small sauce pan.

​5.Heat and stir until mixture starts to thicken slightly. Brush, or in my case pour glaze on pork tenderloin 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking.

​

​

*You could pour the rest of glaze on top of the tenderloin. We choose to serve the remaining glaze on the side.*

*It is very good with a baked potato or some green beans!*
