This Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Sesame Pork Loin is full of flavor and takes only minutes to put in the slow cooker.

Cooked large pork loin in Asian style sauce.

I found this idea in an old cookbook I was going through last week. I planned to follow the recipe exactly but found I was out of honey which was the main ingredient in the recipe. Instead this recipe is named Brown Sugar Sesame Pork Loin instead of honey. I Think the brown sugar is great in this recipe and am glad I was out of honey.

I forgot to take photos of the plated dish so you can see what this pork loin looks like sliced. But I do have a video below that shows the plated dish.

Easter is just around the corner and the crock pot is a great way to make the ham. My go to recipe is Brown Sugar Ham though I really want to try this Maple Mustard Ham from the Frugal Girls! However you make a ham in the slow cooker it always turns out great. I hope you have a great week!

      What can I use in place of the sesame oil?
      Also it looks like there’s green onions when plated in the video??

      I’m making this tonight to serve with rice and broccoli! It’s cooking now and I wish I could open up and look. I’ve got some friends coming over for a game night so I love how easy this is! Hopefully everyone will like it!

      This was SO tender and flavorful! I ended up using 2 lbs of pork tenderloin because we are only a family of 3 and that’s what I could find at our grocery store, also didn’t have any sesame seeds, so skipped those this time (but will definitely add next time). Cooked in slow cooker for 6 hours on low and shredded the pork in the slow cooker when it was finished cooking. Served over brown rice the first night. Tonight I used about a cup of the pork and the rest of the rice and made pork fried rice – added in a bunch of veggies and a little more soy sauce and it was delicious! I have about 2-3 cups of pork left and will freeze for a meal later on. Excellent recipe – thank you for sharing it!!

        SO glad to see this comment, as I also have 2 – 1 lb pork tenderloins, and was hoping to use those instead. 🙂 I also love the fried rice idea!

      If you cook it on high would it only be 3.5 hours? Do you have an instant pot equivalent?

        I don’t have instant pot info. I think 3.5 – 4 hours should work fine.

        Can I cook this on high in a crockpot. Should I set it for 3-3 1/2 hours if yes

          It’s hard to say exactly without testing. Yes, I would start with 3.5 hours, could take 4.
