"Pork tenderloin gets dressed up for company in this easy-to-fix yet special main dish," writes Sue Mackey from Galesburg, Illinois. "The meat is tender and flavorful. Sesame seeds and ginger go together so well."
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
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.

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.
Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
