Sesame Pork Tenderloin Preparation

Mix all ingredients except pork. Marinate pork in mix for 2 - 24 hours. Remove and drain marinade. Roll each piece of meat in sesame seeds (coat). Preheat oven to 500 degrees and cook for 20 minutes until pork has an internal temp of 150 to 155. Slice across the grain and serve with fried rice. Drizzle sauce on sliced pork and rice.

Our tips:

Substitue 1 teaspoon molasses and 2 teaspoons plain sugar (I like using turbinado surgar if grilling) for brown sugar. Sure it''s the same thing but swear it tastes better!

Use more sesame seeds than you think you''ll need. Many will fall off during grilling and handling.

This does MUCH better on the grill on medium-high heat. Sear over direct heat and then finish with indirect heat. I like to pull it off the grill at about 145 internal, double wrap with foil and let sit for 20 minutes.

Make extra sauce to use as a baste during cooking.

Add some sriracha sauce to the sauce for a spicy dipping sauce.

	Emilyno Really good. Need to make extra sauce for rice though... 6 months, 2 weeks, 18 hours, 39 minutes ago
	Wonderfulsky4u Because of a scheduling conflict I made this in the crock pot today. It was a little spicy for my taste, but we liked it and I will make it again. Next time less pepper and ginger. 8 months, 4 weeks, 20 hours, 47 minutes ago
	Sassy263 Might be good if the cooking directions were better. 500 degrees? My meal was burned after 15 mins. 9 months, 1 weeks, 20 hours, 49 minutes ago
	IRP Tenderized with a fork and marinaded for three hours, this recipe is the best pork tenderloin I've ever had. Served with grilled veggies from the bbq. Thanks for the recipe! 9 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 8 hours, 28 minutes ago
	Radelli Was delish. And very easy to make 10 months, 4 weeks, 1 days, 18 hours, 35 minutes ago
	achelian This is very tasty! For simplicity's sake I marinated it overnight and then cooked everything in the crock pot on low for about six hours. It was more shredded, but delicious! 11 months, 2 weeks, 1 days, 16 hours, 34 minutes ago
	gingerpp Great recipe but I cooked mine in oven at 170 for 1 hr then on grill for 30 min. and after cooked added more marinade mix to top it off. It was great. 11 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 13 hours, 12 minutes ago
	pray This is the easiest, tastiest pork tenderloin I have ever tried. I have made it twice now. I put the meat in the marinade a day ahead the first time and in the morning of the day that I cooked it the second time. The results were the same. Extremely moist and tender with great flavor. 1 years, 1 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 8 hours, 17 minutes ago

	CCheryl this deserves a medal for sure, thanks for sharing, CCheryl 1 years, 2 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, 5 hours, 3 minutes ago
	punkie569 This was a very easy recipe and had pretty good flavour. I marinated the pork for half a day and boiled the marinade after for basting and kept some for sauce after the pork was cooked. We did it on the BBQ and it turned out great. We didn't double the sauce and I found it was enough but if you like it saucy you might want to double the sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. 1 years, 2 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, 7 hours, 30 minutes ago
	kampy It was super delicious. We had to double the gravy, the temperature is perfect for oven prepared pork loins. 1 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 42 minutes ago
	dukeo This was a great recipe - especially the temperature advice that made our tenderloins cooked to perfection. 2 years, 1 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 21 minutes ago
	Mamashack it was very good. I put the leftover marinade into a small pot with a bit of chicken stock and boiled it down a bit to use as a sauce. Next time i will add a bit of chili to it so that there is some heat to balance the sweetness. 2 years, 4 months, 2 days, 2 hours, 11 minutes ago
	swibirun [I made edits to this recipe.] 2 years, 10 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 4 hours, 42 minutes ago
	swibirun Correction to the 'Tip' That should be 1 TEASPOON of molasses and 2 TEASPOONS of sugar. I'll edit this and update at home. 2 years, 10 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 11 hours, 57 minutes ago
	ElGringo Very good, everybody liked it... When you put the pork in the oven, i had toput a little water in the pan, cause the sauce was sticking. 5 years, 6 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 9 hours, 28 minutes ago
