Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin: A Game-Changer

Pat dry the pork with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine salt, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed. Rub the seasoning blend all over the pork loin.
2️⃣ Sear the Pork:

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and sear it on each side until golden brown. This step helps lock in flavor and juices.
3️⃣ Make the Balsamic Glaze:

In a blender, combine the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and smashed garlic cloves. Blend until the mixture thickens. Add Italian seasoning and blend briefly to combine.
4️⃣ Slow Cook the Pork:

Pour chicken broth into the slow cooker. Place the seared pork loin in the slow cooker, fat side up.
Brush the balsamic glaze generously over the pork. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours. The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145˚F.
5️⃣ Rest and Slice:

Once cooked, transfer the pork to a cutting board. Cover with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This step helps the juices redistribute for a tender, juicy pork loin.
Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
