Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pork tenderloin in a baking dish or a roasting pan.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, and sesame seeds until well combined.

  3. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper on all sides.

  4. Pour the honey sesame glaze over the pork tenderloin, making sure to coat it evenly. Use a brush or spoon to spread the glaze and ensure it covers the entire surface of the meat.

  5. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast the pork tenderloin for about 25-30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the glaze every 10 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.

  6. Once the pork is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  7. Sprinkle some additional sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for garnish.

  8. Slice the pork tenderloin into 1-inch thick pieces and serve warm.
