Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the soy sauce, oil, ginger and garlic. Add pork; seal and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
  2. Drain and discard marinade. Place pork on a greased rack in a foil-lined shallow roasting pan. Combine the honey and brown sugar; spoon over pork. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  3. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
