Ingredients
•
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
•
1 medium onion, chopped
•
5 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 tablespoon chili powder
•
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1 1/4 cups steak sauce (such as Heinz 57®)
•
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•
1 1/4 teaspoons liquid smoke

Directions
1
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, chili powder, and pepper until blended; cook until garlic has softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add steak sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir and bring to a light boil.
2
Put pork tenderloin into a slow cooker and pour the sauce on top. Cook until the pork falls apart when touched with a fork, 5 to 6 hours on High or 10 to 12 hours on Low.
3
Place pork on a plate and shred it using 2 forks. Put the pork back in the sauce until ready to serve.
