Begin by patting the pork loin dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl, whisk together salt, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper to make the dry rub.

Sprinkle and press the dry rub evenly on all sides of the pork loin.

In a heavy skillet set over medium heat, sear the pork in a tablespoon of olive oil, turning occasionally for an all-around golden brown crust.

For the sauce, blend together the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and Italian seasoning in a food processor or blender until thickened.

Pour chicken broth into your slow cooker.

Set the pork loin in the slow cooker with its fat side facing up.

Generously brush your balsamic garlic mixture over the pork, ensuring a good coating.

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set to cook on LOW for about 5 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours.

The pork is done when its internal temperature measures 145°F in the thickest part, checked with an instant-read thermometer. If it's not there yet, give it some more time.

When done, transfer your pork loin onto a cutting board, tent lightly with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Slice the rested pork loin and serve it warm, encouraging guests to spoon some leftover sauce from the slow cooker over their portions if desired.
