Honey Sesame Pork Tenderloin - cooking recipe
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
Preparation
-
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.
