Made this for supper tonight and it had a great flavor. I didn't have brown sugar, so I had to improvise. I didn't have any sesame seeds, but can't wait to try it again when I have all the ingredients! Will definitely make this again. I think I will try it with chicken breast also.

My husband & I liked this. I used low sodium soy sauce & fresh ginger. I also increased the garlic to three cloves. I toasted the sesame seeds in a small frying pan until they were golden & aromatic. I marinated it for about 7 hours, but it would have been better if marinated longer.

Extremely tender and tons of flavor, made this with the Oven Brown rice from the site and a salad with spiced balsamic dressing also from this site. The whole meal was a hit.

This is a great recipe. I made a few changes though, and it turned out perfectly. I added fresh ginger, chinese five spice,and fresh garlic. I seasoned the tenderloin with s&p, chinese five spice, & sesame seeds BEFORE I added them to the marinade/glaze. I also used olive oil and sesame oil- just split between the two oil types. I started the tenderloin in the oven at 475 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. Be careful it may smoke a bit with all of the honey and sugar, but it is not burning the meat at all. Afterwars, I reduce the temp to 375 and cook for 30 to 40 minutes. AWESOME!! My family loved it!!

I really wanted to love this recipe, but. . .I used regular soy sauce and it was too salty. I am so glad I cooked it on a rack because the bottom of the pan was all black and sticky. The meat was O.K. nothing special. I followed the recipe exactly. I will not fix it again. Sorry.

This recipe is very tastey. Our hostess served it at a luncheon potluck today and we all enjoyed it very much. She passed the recipe on to all of us and as she marinated it overnight I would think the longer marinating did the trick. Very subtle flavour and the sesame adds a nice toasted taste. Thanks

This was okay. I realled liked the marinade but failed to follow directions and only marinated for an hour. I did half the mix of honey and brown sugar. Next time we have pork tenderloin, I will marinate for at least 4 hours.

This one didn't do it for me. I think one of the problems with the recipe is that you assume it will have an asian/sesame flavor. It ends up being pretty heavy on the soy sauce and not much else. I think the addition of sesame oil would help but since the marinade is poured off and there is no sauce to drizzle over after baking the flavor just doesn't permeate the meat that well as written.

I added more garlic, used fresh ginger cut into matchsticks, and added a squirt of honey and a spoonful of brown sugar to the marinade. I rolled the meat into the honey/sugar mix instead of pouring it over the meat, this gave it a good coating but avoided the burning sugar mess on the bottom of the pan. The foil stuck to the rack, so I will try spraying the foil with Pam next time. I didn't toast the sesame seeds, assuming they would toast in the oven but they didn't so I'll toast 'em next time. I got rave reviews from my husband, my parents, and my MIL. Great and easy peasy recipe.
