Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 2½ - 3 pound pork loin loin, tenderloin, or sirloin
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 32-ounce package or jar of sauerkraut undrained
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon coarse grain mustard brown or mild
- ½ onion, medium chopped
- 1 apple, medium sliced
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork roast with salt and pepper on all sides, then brown it on all sides in the hot skillet. When the roast has been evenly browned, place it in a crock pot.
- In a large bowl, combine the sauerkraut, chopped onion, sliced apple, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Spread it evenly over the pork roast. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours (or until the meat is very tender and flavorful).
- Shred or slice and serve with plenty of the sauerkraut mixture on top. Serve with your favorite potatoes and a green salad or steamed vegetables.
