Secret Recipe Club – Honey Sesame Pork Loin

Ingredients

  • 1 to 1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin
  • ½ cup less sodium soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Glaze:

  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar firmly packed
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds

Reduction:

  • 1 cup apple juice
  • Reserved Marinade
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons honey

Instructions

  1. Combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a large plastic bag. Add tenderloin. Marinate all day or at least 2 hours in refrigerator.
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  3. Combine honey, hoisin sauce, and brown sugar in a shallow bowl. Remove tenderloin from marinade and reserve marinade; pat meat dry with a paper towel. Roll tenderloin in honey mixture, and then roll in sesame seeds. Place in a shallow pan and roast for 20 to 30 minutes or until temperature registers 160 degrees on a meat thermometer. Tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
  4. Pour off marinade into a small sauce pot with hoisin sauce, honey, and apple juice, and place over medium-high heat and reduce, stirring constantly. Reduce until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Set aside for serving.
  5. After meat has rested 10 minutes, slice and place on platter. Drizzle with reduced glaze.
