For a richer flavor, sear the pork tenderloin in a hot pan with olive oil before placing it in the slow cooker. This adds a beautiful crust and enhances the depth of flavor. Adjust the amount of red wine based on your preference. A bolder red wine will impart a more intense flavor to the au jus. If you don't have dry onion soup mix, you can substitute it with 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of celery salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika. Ensure the pork tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for optimal safety and tenderness. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
