Pull this out of the oven and hear the gasps. Rolled in sesame seeds, great color from a honey/brown sugar glaze, this roast pork looks *almost* as good as it tastes.
Ready in: 8 hours 35 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 2

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 whole cloves
• 1 (3/4 pound) pork tenderloin
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Extra time: 8 hours, marinating

1. Place soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, cloves, and pork in a large plastic resealable bag, seal, and refrigerate for 8 hours to marinade.
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and coat a 13×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Remove pork from marinade and roll in sesame seeds. Set in the baking dish. Whisk honey together with brown sugar in a separate bowl, then pour over the roast.
4. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
