Ingredients

1 Pork loin end roast; 4-5 lb

Directions

1
Preheat your oven broiler and season the pork roast generously with salt and pepper.
2
Slice one garlic clove into thin slivers and cut 2 medium onions into thin slices.
3
Make small slits throughout the pork roast and insert the garlic slivers into the cuts.
4
Place the roast in a broiler pan and broil for 15 to 20 minutes to brown the exterior and render excess fat.
5
Place half of the sliced onions in the bottom of a slow cooker or crock pot.
6
Place the browned pork roast on top of the onions and scatter the remaining onions over and around the meat.
7
Add 2 bay leaves, 1 whole clove, 1 cup of hot water, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the pot.
8
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for approximately 10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
9
Carefully remove the pork roast to a serving platter and cover it to keep warm.
10
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a smooth slurry.
11
Turn the slow cooker to high setting and slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the hot cooking liquids while stirring gently.
12
Let the gravy boil for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
13
Serve the sliced or shredded pork with the thickened onion gravy.
