Honey Soy Pork Tenderloin has to be one of those oh so simple meals that everyone in my family loves.
And because it is one of those recipes that you toss everything into the slow cooker, set the timer, and then voila, you have a delicious dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal or even when you are entertaining friends and family.
This honey soy pork tenderloin recipe gets rave reviews around my house and friends always ask me for the recipe. It is sort of embarrassing to see their faces when I tell them how to make it. They usually say, “That’s it? That’s all you do?”
It makes me feel like surely I should say something that takes a lot more time and energy on my part to produce, but there really isn’t much more I can say. It is one of the simplest recipes, yet produces so much flavor and a very, very tender pork tenderloin.
I hope your family loves it as much as mine does.

Update: I received emails and comments that the previous version of the honey soy pork tenderloin was turning out overly dry for some people. I headed back into the kitchen to retest the recipe again and again and have updated it to include 1 cup of chicken broth. While the honey soy flavor is not as pronounced, it does make the pork tenderloin incredibly tender every time I make it! If you’ve loved the recipe before, just omit the chicken stock and proceed on as normal! Thanks so much for your feedback! xo
I have made this 3 times and the family loves it. Easy to make and really very good.
Thanks, Laura. So glad you and your family love this recipe.
I’m wondering if this could translate to pork chops instead of tenderloin??

Could you turn this into a freezer meal? I was wondering if you could freeze the tenderloin with the other ingredients. Thaw for a day and then cook. I need freezer for my daughter who is about to give birth.
Susan, I would freeze the tenderloin in one bag and the olive oil mixture in a separate one. Then cook according to recipe instructions after they have both thawed. Congratulations on your new grandchild.
We had this for dinner tonight and it was DELICIOUS!! Before making I read all the reviews of it being to dry and how to add chicken broth to make it juicy. I decided to follow the original recipe, and NOT use the chicken broth. This came out so juicy and full of sauce that I do not understand why people are saying it was dry. Thanks Robyn for a teriffic recipe.
Thank you, Althea. I have never the pork tenderloin be dry when prepared this way. I’m so happy it was juicy for you, too. xo
Is this a pork tenderloin or a pork loin???
