Honey Glazed Pork Tenderloin




This is a very easy no fuss dish to make and it is certainly company worthy.
It always goes over very well.

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger, or 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1/4 cup liquid honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  1. Combine first five ingredients in a plastic bag.
  2. Marinate at least 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
  3. Remove the pork and dry well with paper towels.
  4. Combine the honey, brown sugar in a plate and roll the pork in this mixture.
  5. Roll in sesame seeds.
  6. Bake at a 375 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. Pork is done when it reaches 160F with a meat thermometer, for medium, and 170 for well done.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest covered for 10 minutes.
  8. Slice thinly and serve.
Serves about 6-8 people.

  7. I served this meal to our friends last saturday, and served it with a chinese friend rice....a orange and walnut salad.....wonderfully delicious.
    that is not what is on the plate in this picture...that was a tomatoe salad with just plain rice with the some of the sauce over it.....it doesn't give much sauce though.

  10. We served this for dinner tonight and the Tenderloin was EXCELLENT! It's a good thing we marinated and cooked two of them, otherwise we wouldn't have had any leftovers at all for sandwiches or to toss into a veggie stir-fry in a few days.
