Low-Carb Slow Cooker Pork Roast with Spicy Peanut Sauce

Directions

Trim any visible fat from the pork sirloin roast and cut with the grain into several pieces ; then rub the roast on all sides with Penzey’s Pork Chop Seasoning, or a seasoning mix of your choice that’s good on pork. Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan over high heat and brown the roast well on all sides. Put browned pieces of pork into the slow cooker. While the meat browns, in a food processor or the bowl attachment of an Immersion Blender , combine the minced ginger, minced garlic, peanut butter, and tomato sauce and process until the ingredients are well-combined. Add the soy sauce, Golden Monkfruit Sweetener  or sweetener of your choice, Chile Garlic Sauce and chicken or vegetable stock and process again until everything is mixed. If you want to add flavor, put the mixed sauce into the frying pan and cook over low heat for a few minutes, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the frying pan. Pour sauce over the meat in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 2-3 hours, or until the roast is tender and internal reaches at least 145F. I would test it with an Instant Read Meat Thermometer . When it’s done, remove meat from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. If the sauce looks separated, whisk it for a minute to combine. Slice meat against the grain into slices about 1/2 inch thick and serve with sauce drizzled over. Trim and brown the meat as detailed above, but don’t cut meat into slices. You can brown the meat in the pressure cooker instead of a frying pan if you prefer. Then use the directions for Pork Sirloin Tip in the Pressure Cooker to cook the pork roast. While meat cooks, make the sauce mixture as described above. When the meat is done, and pressure has released, remove meat to a cutting board and discard the liquid in the pressure cooker. Let meat rest while you simmer the sauce mixture in a frying pan for 5-10 minutes When the sauce is hot, cut the meat into slices against the grain. Serve meat with some sauce spooned over, or you can put the sliced meat into the sauce and cook a few minutes longer if you feel the meat isn’t hot enough.
