Crockpot Pulled Teriyaki Pork Sandwiches

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!
