Cocoa Crusted Pork Tenderloin

This dish inspired by Costa Rican spices seems exotic, but it uses spices and ingredients you already have around the house: coffee, cocoa and cinnamon. You'll wonder why you've been relegating these flavorings to dessert! Submitted by: CHEF_MEG

I made this and served it over spinach and brown rice. Everyone loved it - I might cut down the ginger next time. - 5/23/08

If you pound the steak with a tenderizing mallet, the steak is much more tender. Or...you can marinate it the night before. This was good! - 4/18/19

I'll echo what another members said about the steak being surprisingly tough, even though it shreds easily. I think perhaps cooking it on high was a mistake for my particular crockpot. Meat was charred and potatoes mushy. May try it again on low. - 6/1/12

Not bad, tasted like pot roast with a sweet twist. Won't make it again. - 1/31/11

I made this with a few variations. I used low sodium chicken broth instead of beef. I eliminated the salt. Like others, I sliced the sweet potatoes. I also sliced the flank steak before putting it in the crock pot. The flank steak was tender and the dish was very flavorful.
Thank you for sharing. - 4/9/10

really great flavor, we served ours on a wheat roll, sandwich style, and had sweet potato fries on the side - 3/30/09

DH and I both say this is a keeper. We will be eqating off of it for a few days. I only gave 3 stars, because I don't think it would do well for a meal for guests. It is quite different from what a lot of people would be accustomed to. - 3/22/09

Excellent flavor! I will use top sirloin or even round steak next time . Flank steak was tough even after cooking all those hours. - 9/27/08

I enjoyed this very much. It made the whole house smell wonderful. I added chopped fresh garlic and I sliced the sweet potatoes in round and served it over rice. We definitely would make this again - 3/24/08

We like the recipe and served it over rice. It needed something else, but neither my husband nor I could figure out what. Thank you for sharing the recipe! - 2/3/08

Great flavor in this dish and very filling...are we sure it only makes 4 servings? I also cubed the sweet potato and it was great - will be making it again. A super easy recipe. - 1/27/08

My family loved this! They claim to despise both pineapple and sweet potato but had no idea until after they finished that they'd had just eaten those very things! - 1/23/08

I have a picky husband but he really loves it and wants to make it again. We served it with rice. - 1/19/08

my family loved it!!! I used a london broil instead it was nice & tender it just fell apart. I put it on a roll. Pork would work nice also. - 1/18/08

The flavor of this dish was delicious! Instead of shredding the sweet potatoes, I cut them up into large chunks and that worked well. The meat was a little tough, even though it was faling apart, but maybe that's just how flank steak is. You could easily sub chicken! My husband loved it! - 1/9/08
