  • Preheat a slow cooker on High for 15 minutes.
  • Rub tenderloin with salt and pepper.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil to the hot slow cooker. Add tenderloin and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, mix barbecue sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce in a medium bowl. Pour over the seared tenderloins to cover.
  • Cover the slow cooker, reduce to Low, and cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, 4 to 4 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). If you want to shred the pork, cook for 1 to 2 more hours.
