We love this variation of pork tenderloin. It's excellent served over rice. Delicious! The prep time does not include marinating, which is 2 hours. Enjoy!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sesame oil.
  2. 2
    Place tenderloin in a resealable plastic food storage bag and pour the soy sauce mixture into it.
  3. 3
    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**.
  4. 4
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  5. 5
    Remove pork from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel.
  6. 6
    Mix honey and brown sugar on a plate. (You could use a whisk if you're having trouble mixing these ingredients.).
  7. 7
    Place sesame seeds on another plate.
  8. 8
    Roll pork in honey mixture and then roll in the sesame seeds.
  9. 9
    Roast in a shallow pan for 20 to 30 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees.
  10. 10
    Suggested to serve over rice.

    Very good, but does take a little effort to get the honey mixture to stick to the meat. I threw the sesame seeds in with the honey and brown sugar because I found it easier to coat that way. Thanks, LIfeIsGood.

    Very good. I used it on a loin roast and doubled the ingredients. The honey brown sugar was too thick and it wouldn't stick to the roast by rolling, so I just smeared it on and sprinkled the seed over the roast. I needed to add a little water to the pan, cuz I had to increase the cooking time. Thanks for a great recipe!!!

    This was a wonderful way to prepare pork. I had to use boneless pork ribs because the tenderloin was a bit expensive and it didn't look great anyway. Otherwise, I made just as stated and it turned out great. I used a whisk to combine the honey and brown sugar and had no problems at all with clumping. The house smelled wonderful while it was cooking. Thanks for sharing!
