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
If I am using 5-6 lbs. pork loin, should I double all other ingredients? Thanks, Judi Braun
Hi Judi,
Yes you would double the other ingredients with that size tenderloin. Thanks!
I made it in my crock pot. I reduced that amount of steak seasoning to three teaspoons. About half way through the cooking I wasn’t quite convinced about the sauce so I added some tomato paste, and a little brown sugar. My husband made me write down the additional ingredients so I would n’t forget and could make it again.
Hope you enjoyed it, Lori. Thanks!
I made this tonight and it was really good! I thickened the pan juices with cornstarch (mixed with water) and used it as a sauce over the pork and a brown rice/quinoa blend which I served with honey roasted carrots. Super easy and delicious dinner! This will definitely be in regular rotation at our house.
Sounds delicious, Amanda! I’m so glad you loved it!
What do you use the olive oil mixture afterwards? Have you ever added it to rice for a side dish or thicken
it for a gravy.
Can you Marinade it overnight in the mixture and them put it all in the crock pot?
Sure! You can put it all in the slow cooker insert the night before and refrigerate so that you just place in slow cooker the next morning. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks Tim!
delicious!! thank you for sharing.
What side dishes have you all served with this meal?
We love it with roasted potatoes, green beans, baked sweet potatoes, roasted vegetables, you name it! 🙂 I hope you enjoy it! xo
Any idea how long it would take to cook it in the oven?
Making this as we speak, will update later to let you know how the family liked it
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy it! xo
Made this last weekend. Yum, yum, yum! Family urged me to not lose this recipe. One question, though. Recipe calls for 3 Tablespoons of steak seasoning. Tablespoons? That seemed like an enormous amount. I used 3 teaspoons and the pork was plenty seasoned.
Hi Kari,
I’m thrilled your family enjoyed this! It is so delicious and full of flavor! If you liked it with 3 teaspoons, you can use that, but the recipe is correct at 3 T. Thanks so much! xo
I use only 1 now, It was just a little to peppery for us. 🙂
what can i substitute for the steak seasoning?
Google Montreal Steak Seasoning and it will give you the ingredients. I just winged it from there.
