Sesame Pork Tenderloin

This recipe came from a great cook and friend in Memphis, Mindy Johnson. She made this for our family when I hade Catie. It has been a favorite for 8 years! Thanks for sharing, Mindy!

Sesame Pork Tenderloin

1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin
Worcestershire sauce
Salt
Black Pepper
Garlic Powder

Sesame Marinade:
¼ cup sesame seeds
½ cup vegetable oil, divided
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place pork in a roasting pan lined with enough heavy duty foil to enclose tenderloins to a tight seal. Season pork with Worcestershire sauce, then salt, pepper and garlic powder. Seal foil tightly and bake for 2 to 2 ½ hours.
Meanwhile, mix together sesame seeds and ¼ cup vegetable oil in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until seeds are warmed through and coated, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining marinade ingredients. Set aside.
When pork is done, open up one end of foil and pour prepared sesame marinade over pork. Seal foil again and allow pork to rest to room temperature. Place pork in a sealed container and chill or eat warm with fresh baked rolls. YUMMY!
