Cooking Tips:
- For even more flavor, you can marinate the pork fillet in the balsamic mixture for a few hours or overnight before placing it in the crock pot.
- Make sure to sear the pork tenderloin on all sides in a skillet before adding it to the crock pot. This step locks in the juices and adds a delicious crust to the meat.
- Use fresh garlic cloves for the best flavor. If you prefer a milder garlic taste, you can slightly sauté the garlic in olive oil before adding it to the crock pot.
- If you like your sauce a bit thicker, you can remove the pork tenderloin once it is cooked and let the sauce reduce by continuing to cook it in the crock pot on a high setting for about 20-30 minutes.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables to complete your meal.
