Ingredients and Preparation

Ingredients	Measures
Pork tenderloin, visible fat removed	12 ounces
Low sodium soy sauce	¼ cup
Garlic cloves, minced	2
Sesame oil	1 teaspoon
Brown sugar	1 tablespoon
Honey	2 tablespoons
Sesame seeds	2 tablespoons

Directions
Combine pork, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil in a resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4-24 hours, turning a few times.
Preheat the oven to 375ÀöF.
Remove pork from marinade and pat dry. Combine the brown sugar and honey and then rub over the pork. Place sesame seeds in a shallow plate and then roll the pork in the seeds until well-covered.
Place meat in baking dish and roast in the oven. Note that during cooking, the honey-sugar mixture will drip into the pan and burn, but the pork will not. For easier clean-up, line the baking dish with foil before placing the pork on it.
Roast for 40-55 minutes, or until the pork reaches 160ÀöF. You can remove the pork when it’s at 155ÀöF; it will continue to cook slightly once out of the oven, raising the temperature to 160ÀöF, but keep the thermometer in to monitor it’s temperature status. Slice thinly and serve.
