Honey Sesame Pork Tenderloin


This was the first time I had ever made a tenderloin, and I was super pleased with it. I didn’t plan ahead so we had potatoes and veggies with it. Next time I will try to come up with some Asian sides!

½ cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 table spoon sesame oil
1 to 1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin

¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, firmly packed
¼ cup sesame seeds


Combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in large plastic bag. Add tenderloin. Marinate at least 2 hours in refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine honey and brown sugar in a shallow bowl. Remove tenderloin from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Roll tenderloin in honey mixture then roll in sesame seeds. Roast in a shallow pan 20 to 30 minutes, or until meat registers 160 degrees on a meat thermometer. Serve immediately.

SERVES 4 TO 6
