Ingredients:

For the pork:

• 1 (1.5-2 lb) pork tenderloin

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp dried thyme

• 1 tsp dried rosemary

• ½ tsp paprika

For the sauce:

• ½ cup heavy cream

• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp dried parsley (or fresh)

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp dried thyme

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pork – Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil, then coat it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, and paprika.

2. Sear (optional but recommended) – In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the pork on all sides for about 2 minutes per side.

3. Slow cook – Place the pork in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

4. Make the sauce – In a small saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, garlic powder, and thyme. Heat over low until warm and slightly thickened.

5. Serve – Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle the creamy Dijon sauce over the top.

Note: For extra flavor, sear the pork tenderloin before placing it in the slow cooker. This helps lock in juices and creates a delicious crust. 🔥 If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer for a few extra minutes until it reaches your desired consistency. Enjoy! 😋
