Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1 cup cilantro chopped
  • ⅓ cup mint chopped
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup orange juice, juice from 2 limes, 1 cup chopped cilantro, ? cup chopped mint, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and ¼ cup water until combined.
  • Place 2 pounds pork tenderloin into the crock pot.
  • Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the pork is tender and cooked through.
  • Transfer the pork tenderloin to a foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Spoon some of the extra sauce from the crock pot over the pork.
  • Broil for 5 minutes per side, or until the pork is lightly browned.
  • Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 
BAKING INSTRUCTIONS: 
  • Add the pork tenderloin to a baking dish. Pour the sauce over the top of the tenderloin and cover the pan with foil.
  • Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit  for 25-30 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove the foil. Broil for 3-4 minutes to brown the pork slightly. Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes and then it's ready to slice, serve and enjoy. 
 
GRILLING INSTRUCTIONS: 
  • Pat the pork tenderloins dry with a paper towel.
  • In a small bowl whisk together all the ingredients except for the pork tenderloin.
  • Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F) and rub the grill grates with oil to keep the pork from sticking to the grates.
  • Use tongs to remove the pork from the bag.  Shake off the excess marinade.  Place on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Remove from the grill.  Tent with foil and let sit for 5-10 minutes.  The pork should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F while the pork is resting.
  • Then the pork is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!
