Honey Glazed Pork Tenderloin

16 ounces extra-lean pork tenderloin
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame seeds**

Trim excess fat from pork. Place in a gallon-sized ziploc freezer bag.

Mix the soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Add to bag. Coat pork well. Marinate for 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. 

Remove pork from marinade. Pat dry. Combine honey and sugar. Brush over pork. Coat pork with sesame seeds. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes at 375 degrees.

Slice thinly and serve.

To Freeze: Prepare pork in bag as indicated above. Add the soy sauce, ginger and garlic mixture. Press as much air as possible out of the bag and seal. Freeze.

Frozen Preparation: Defrost pork completely in refrigerator. Remove pork from marinade. Pat dry. Combine honey and sugar. Brush over pork. Coat pork with sesame sees. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Slice thinly and serve.

**Look for sesame seeds in the grocery store on the international foods aisle with the asian cooking ingredients. Often you can find a large container of them for a fraction of the price of the tiny bottles of sesame seeds found in the spices section.
