Ingredients:
1.5 lb Pork tenderloin
1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
1 small white onion, diced small
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 can (28 oz.) tomato sauce
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses (you can substitute this with dark agave nectar)
3 tbsp. white vinegar
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. ground mustard
1 1/2 tsp. ground pepper
Grillmates mesquite flavoring to taste
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until completely soft, approximately 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook about 1 minute.
Add the tomato paste and mustard. Stirring constantly, cook until paste turns a bright red in color, approximately 5 minutes. Add 2 cups water, tomato sauce, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Bring mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cover partially. Stirring occasionally, simmer for 2 hours. You can thin the sauce down with water if it becomes too thick. Add mesquite seasoning, more vinegar, salt and/or pepper to taste (if desired). Let simmer on low for 1 – 2 hours.
Place pork tenderloin in slow cooker, dump entirety of sauce on the tenderloin and cook on low for about 6-8 hours.
When pork is pull-able (it will basically fall apart) take it out of the slow cooker and I put mine in a big tupperware, then pull apart with two forks. Don’t add all of the sauce or else it will be soupy, so add just enough to keep it moist. (Use the rest for chicken on the grill perhaps, or to top the sandwiches.)
