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
Do you think this would work with a pork shoulder?
Can you not make this, if you don’t have a slow cooker insert?
If you have a slow cooker, you have an insert unless it got broken. It’s the ceramic pot that you put the food into.
I just did port tenderloin for the first time and wow! I am in love! This recipe looks so good and easy! Love it and I agree with Gaby. Perfect for entertaining!
The simple recipes are always the best! This does look like an amazing meal to serve for entertaining.
Love this! And it’s so easy – double win!
Sounds delicious! I will be making this tomorrow.
What are some of your favorite sides to serve with this?
I notice you mention liners in many of the slow cooking recipes and I’m new to slow cooking. Are liners necessary or is it just for easy clean up?
Hi Bruce,
I don’t use a liner in my slow cookers. What I do mention is the slow cooker insert, meaning the crockery that comes with a slow cooker where the food actually is cooked. Hope that helps clear up any confusion I may have caused.
Thanks!
Liners are sold near the waxed paper and foils in the supermarket. You tuck the liner into the crockpot, add your food, cook it up. When you’ve eaten, you remove the leftovers , the remove the liner and toss in the recycling. NO CLEANUP! Not a single minute spent scrubbing out the crockpot! What a blessing! Safe and easy — this is a dynamite improvement to crockpot cooking.
I laughed when you mentioned that people are shocked it is so easy. Our favorite recipe is very similar. All I do is put a beef brisket in the crockpot with a few garlic cloves and a dash of soy and Worstershire sauces. Nothing else and it makes the best brisket ever. I love crock pots. You have a great blog, thanks!
Sounds like a winner, Robyn – easy and delicious! Can’t go wrong!! Thanks for another must-try! 😉
Nice easy recipe. Thanks Robyn. Have a great weekend!
