Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 2 tbsp sliced green onions
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp coarse ground pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ cup honey
• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp minced onion
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• ½ tsp sesame seed oil
• ¼ tsp crushed red peppers, optional
• ¼ cup cold water
• 2 tbsp cornstarch

Directions

• Mix together kosher salt, coarse ground pepper, garlic powder, and ground cinnamon. Rub the spice mixture over the 1 pound pork tenderloin. Place the tenderloin in a pan, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Put honey, soy sauce, olive oil, hoisin sauce, minced onion, minced garlic, sesame seed oil, and crushed red peppers in a sauce pan, whisk together, and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.
• In a small bowl, stir together cold water and cornstarch and then slowly whisk into the sauce. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until thickened.
• Put ¼ cup of the sauce in a small bowl to bring out to the grill and set the rest aside.
• Remove the pork tenderloin from the fridge and cut it into ½ thick slices. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil and then cook the pork tenderloin medallions over high heat for 3 minutes on each side. Brush the pork tenderloin with the ¼ cup of honey sesame sauce in the small bowl and grill an additional minute on each side to caramelize the sauce.
• The pork is fully cooked once it has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
• Before serving, top the pork tenderloin with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
