Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories main-dish

Time 5h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

One 3 1/2- to 4-pound pork loin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

Trim the visible fat from the loin. If necessary, cut the roast to fit into a 3 1/2-, 4- or 5-quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, ginger, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub the spice mixture over the entire surface of the loin.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium to medium-high heat and brown the loin slowly on all sides. Drain off the fat. Transfer the loin to the slow cooker. Combine the chicken broth, lemon juice and soy sauce in a small bowl; pour over the loin. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours. When the roast is done, transfer the meat to a serving platter and cover to keep it warm.
To make the gravy, pour the juices from the slow cooker into a glass measuring cup. Skim off the fat. Measure 2 cups of liquid, adding water to the juices if necessary to make 2 cups. Transfer the juices to a saucepan, reserving 1/2 cup. Stir the cornstarch into the reserved 1/2 cup of juices until dissolved, then stir into the juices in the saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the gravy is thickened and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the roast and serve it with the gravy.

Trim any excess fat from the pork loin roast before cooking. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the dish.
Season the pork loin roast generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to give the meat flavor.
Sear the pork loin roast in a hot skillet before cooking it in the crock pot. This will help to brown the meat and give it a crispy crust.
Add a variety of vegetables to the crock pot along with the pork loin roast. This will help to make the dish more flavorful and nutritious.
Cook the pork loin roast on low for 8-10 hours, or until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the meat should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the pork loin roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
