Spicy Garlic Ginger Tenderloin

I love pork tenderloin because it's simple to prepare, lean, and easily takes on whatever flavors you throw into it. This is probably my favorite tenderloin recipe that I've found, because it's one of the few that doesn't require searing the meat beforehand, and only calls for a small amount of natural sweetener from the honey. You can also garnish this with green onion before serving and it would be delicious!


Ingredients
2 lb. pork tenderloin;
1 tsp. ground ginger;
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon;
1 tsp. garlic powder;
1/2 tsp. crush red pepper flakes;
1/2 cup chicken stock;
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar;
1/2 cup. water;
2 to 4 tbsp. raw honey (I only used 2, but you can always add more);
2 tbsp. liquid aminos;
2 tsp. fresh ginger, minced;
2 cloves garlic, minced;
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper;

In a small bowl, combine the ground ginger, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, crushed red pepper and season to taste.
Rub the pork tenderloin with the ginger-cinnamon mix.
Place the tenderloin in the crockpot, and pour the chicken stock around the pork.
Cook on low 6 to 8 hours.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the apple cider vinegar, water, honey, aminos, minced ginger, minced garlic, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, slightly reduce heat, and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
Preheat broiler or grill to high.
Remove tenderloin from slow cooker and brush generously with the ginger-garlic sauce.
Grill or broil 1 to 2 minutes per side, basting with the sauce every time.
