Thai Pork with Peanut Sauce (Crock pot)

I normally make a few batches of this and freeze it so I can pull it out when I'm having a busy day!

Thai Pork with Peanut Sauce

2 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 4 pieces
1/3 cup prepared teriyaki sauce (use a high quality brand)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 red onion
1⁄4 cup creamy peanut butter
1⁄4 cup dry roasted peanuts
1⁄2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
1-2 tablespoons peanut sauce (optional if you want it spicy)


Directions
Step 1. Place all ingredients (except peanut butter, peanuts, and green onions) into the
slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours. ** Mine was done at around 6 1⁄2 –
7 hours. Pork should be tender but not falling apart (unless that is the consistency you
like) The original recipe called for a cooking time of 8-9 hours on low but that would have
been way to long for my slow cooker – the pork would have been completely dried out.
Know your slow cooker and keep an eye on it around 6 1/2 hours.
Step 2. Remove pork from slow cooker and chop into bite size chunks. Add the peanut
butter and peanut sauce to the sauce. Stir until it dissolves into the sauce.
Step 3. Return the pork to the slow cooker and toss with the sauce. Serve over rice. Sprinkle with peanuts and green onions.
