This recipe is one I found in the Cooking Club of America magazine, I have made some practical modifications and this is very tasty
Sesame-Crusted Pork Tenderloin
When time is at a premium, use this method to quickly marinate small pieces of meat while the oven preheats.
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil (light sesame oil also works well)
2 garlic cloves, minced (you can use garlic powder with no problem)
2 (3/4-lb.) pork tenderloins (works well with regular center cut chops too)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil.
2. In large skillet, combine soy sauce, honey, ginger(if you do not have ginger that is ok....the recipe still works well), oil and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Add pork tenderloins; cook 3 to 5 minutes, turning and stirring until soy sauce mixture has cooked to a thick syrup and pork is coated with mixture. Place pork in baking pan; sprinkle with sesame seeds.
4. Bake for 15 to 20 (I had to cook mine for 25 minutes) minutes or until internal temperature registers 155°F. to 160°F. Cover pork loosely with foil; let stand 5 to 8 minutes before slicing.
