Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 3 carrots, sliced into rounds
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium tamari
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Place the sliced carrots and trimmed green beans in the bottom of the slow cooker to form a base layer.
  • Lay the pork tenderloin on top of the vegetables.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the tamari, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and rice vinegar until combined.
  • Pour the sauce evenly over the pork and vegetables.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 hours until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the vegetables are tender.
  • Remove the pork, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into medallions.
  • Serve the pork slices over the vegetables and sprinkle sesame seeds on top before eating.

Notes

For best texture, avoid lifting the lid during cooking so the pork stays moist. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the pork and vegetables at the end and stir a teaspoon of arrowroot powder into the remaining liquid before drizzling it over the slices. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
