09 - 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
10 - 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
11 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
12 - 1/2 tsp dried oregano
13 - 1 tbsp light brown sugar, packed

14 - 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

# Instructions:

01 - Trim 2 1/2 lbs lamb tenderloin (The Tender Lamb Core) of any silver skin. In a small bowl, combine 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and 1 tbsp light brown sugar (Signature Seasoning Blend). Rub this seasoning blend generously over all sides of the lamb.
02 - Thinly slice 1 medium yellow onion and mince 4 cloves garlic (Aromatic Flavor Foundation). Place the sliced onion and minced garlic evenly at the bottom of a 6-quart or larger crockpot. Add 2 sprigs fresh rosemary and 4 sprigs fresh thyme (Aromatic Flavor Foundation) on top of the onion and garlic.
03 - Carefully place the seasoned 2 1/2 lbs lamb tenderloin (The Tender Lamb Core) on top of the aromatics in the crockpot. Pour 1 1/2 cups beef broth, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (Savory Slow-Cooker Elixir) over the lamb. This ensures an Easy & Juicy Crockpot Lamb Tenderloin.
04 - Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours (480 minutes) or until the lamb is incredibly fork-tender. Cooking on LOW ensures the lamb remains exceptionally moist and creates the perfect Easy & Juicy Crockpot Lamb Tenderloin.
05 - Carefully remove the cooked lamb tenderloin from the crockpot and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This resting period is crucial for an Easy & Juicy Crockpot Lamb Tenderloin. Shred or slice the lamb as desired.
06 - Skim any excess fat from the cooking liquid remaining in the crockpot. Serve the shredded lamb with a generous drizzle of the flavorful pan juices. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (Fresh Finish). Enjoy your delicious Easy & Juicy Crockpot Lamb Tenderloin!

# Notes:

01 - For an even richer flavor, quickly sear the lamb tenderloin in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes per side before adding it to the crockpot. This step is optional but adds a nice crust.
02 - Leftover lamb can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It's delicious reheated or served cold in sandwiches or salads.
03 - If you don't have fresh rosemary and thyme, you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary and 1 teaspoon dried thyme, added with the other dry seasonings.
04 - This tender lamb pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, creamy polenta, roasted root vegetables, or a simple green salad to complete your meal.
