Use a good quality pork tenderloin. Look for one that is firm and has a deep pink color.
Sear the pork tenderloin before slow cooking it. This will help to brown the meat and lock in the juices.
Add plenty of flavor to the slow cooker. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and vegetables.
Cook the pork tenderloin on low for 6-8 hours, or until it is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
