Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 lb whole pork tenderloin
1/2 cup soy sauce (I recommend using low-sodium soy sauce)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

Combine soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sesame oil.
Place tenderloin in a resealable plastic food storage bag and pour the soy sauce mixture into it.
Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator. **I do not recommend marinating this any longer than 2 hours - as the pork will become too salty tasting**.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Remove pork from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel.
Mix honey and brown sugar on a plate. (You could use a whisk if you're having trouble mixing these ingredients.).
Place sesame seeds on another plate.
Roll pork in honey mixture and then roll in the sesame seeds.
Roast in a shallow pan for 20 to 30 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees.
Suggested to serve over rice.

Categories Pork

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 c. soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp. grated fresh ginger or 1 tsp. dry ginger
1 lb. whole pork tenderloin
1/4 c. honey
2 tbsp. brown sugar
4 tbsp. sesame seeds
1 tbsp. sesame oil

Steps:

Combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger and sesame oil. Place tenderloin in a heavy plastic bag, pour soy mixture over. Let marinate 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator. Remove pork from marinade, pat dry. Mix together honey and brown sugar in a shallow plate. Place sesame seeds on a separate shallow plate.

Remove to a heated serving platter; slice thinly to serve.

Tips:

Choose a pork tenderloin that is about 1 pound in weight. This will ensure that it cooks evenly.
To make the marinade, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Make sure the marinade is well combined.
Let the pork tenderloin marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat.
When you are ready to cook the pork tenderloin, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast them until they are golden brown. Remove the sesame seeds from the skillet and set them aside.
Add the pork tenderloin to the skillet and cook it for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. Remove the pork tenderloin from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it.
To make the honey sesame sauce, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook it for 5 minutes, or until it has thickened.
Serve the pork tenderloin with the honey sesame sauce and the toasted sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

Honey sesame pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the honey sesame sauce is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
