Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin Medallions
| Prep Time | 10 mins |
| Cook Time | 6–7 hours (Low) or 3–4 hours (High) |
| Servings | 6 |
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch medallions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Lightly grease the slow cooker with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil. Arrange the pork tenderloin medallions in a single layer inside the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, ranch seasoning, brown gravy mix, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the pork medallions, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover and cook on Low for 6–7 hours or High for 3–4 hours, until the pork is fork-tender and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork and keep it warm. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth, then stir the slurry into the cooking liquid. Cover and cook on High for another 10–15 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Return the pork medallions to the slow cooker and gently coat them with the rich gravy. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
Tips
- Searing the pork for 2–3 minutes per side before slow cooking adds extra flavor.
- Avoid overcooking to keep the pork tender and juicy.
- Add sliced mushrooms or onions for extra richness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
