With the weather heating up, a good crockpot meal is in order. While we certainly love our crockpot, I was looking for a sandwich recipe that did not involve BBQ, and I thought this tangy teriyaki pulled pork sandwich sounded interesting to try.
We loved the flavor and it was so easy to make! I can imagine some grilled or fried pineapple on the sandwich too. Yum!
Crockpot Pulled Teriyaki Pork Sandwiches – Adapted from Jamie Cook’s It Up
Ingredients
- Pork roast or loin, ~2 lbs
- Low-Sodium Montreal Steak Seasoning (McCormick)
- 1/4 C chicken broth
- 1 recipe teriyaki sauce
- Whole wheat buns
- Pineapple {optional}
Directions
Place the pork roast/loin into the base of your crockpot and pour 1/4 C chicken broth over the roast. Sprinkle the roast with Montreal Steak seasoning; roughly 1-2 tsp. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until pork reaches 170 degrees.
When the pork is ready, prepare the teriyaki sauce, by mixing together the water, cornstarch, soy sauce, ginger, honey and garlic. Bring to a simmer on the stovetop until thick. Set aside.
Shred the pork with two forks, and pour the teriyaki sauce over the top.
Serve on a whole wheat bun. If desired, grill or fry up a pineapple ring and place on the sandwich.
Enjoy!
