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
Excellent recipe. Only change I’d make next time is to reduce steak seasoning to one tablespoon as it was too salty. I put mine in modestly frozen and cooked on low for 10 hours. Hubby and son devoured it.
Hi, can I cook for 3 hours in low and 1 hour on high do you think? Thanks!
You will get best results from cooking on low the time in the recipe. I’m afraid it might not be as tender in the time you mention. Enjoy! Thanks Libby. xo
This recipe is great. Tried it with both a pork tenderloin and pork loin. Great either way.
Thanks Rebecca! Glad you liked it! xo
Can you do in oven and for how long?
Really did not care for the taste of this recipe. Won’t make this again.
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it, Joe.
Making this for the second time in 2018! It is just the best pork tenderloin in a crock pot recipe I have found online. I take this and then shred it into my version of carnitas. Family loves it, so easy, hardly any clean up, and delicious results! Thank you Robyn for posting this recipe.
Cheers,

It’s sounds so delicious served like that, James! I’m so happy you and your family enjoy it! Thanks! 🙂
Does it matter if I cook a pork loin vs a pork tenderloin?
Hi Sur,
Those cuts are completely different and I personally don’t substitute a loin for a tenderloin. Thanks!
I did and it works just fine!!????????
What if you only have one 1 lb tenderloin? Would you adjust cooking time to less?
I made this in the morning at 8am and went home on lunch break to check it. It was absolutely falling apart so I took it out and made some more honey with sauce in it and poured over it . I then put it in the fridge and will reheat it tonight . I sampled some and might of went overboard with chili pepper flakes and Montreal so that’s why I made some more honey sauce. I can’t wait to try it! Pairing it with roasted rosemary baby potatoes, salad and King’s Hawaiian rolls❤️Thanks for sharing
Hi Frankie,
It sounds like a wonderful meal you’ve got waiting on you! I hope you enjoy it and appreciate hearing from you! Thanks!
Turned out great. Did not have Montreal seasoning on hand so made my own. This is a keeper.
So glad you enjoyed it, Brooke! Thanks!
