Seseme Pork Tenderloin

In the past couple years I have realized that I love pork tenderloin. It is so lean and soooo tender! I have only had experience cooking the premarinated ones from the store in the oven. I am happy I gave this recipe a try.

Ingredients: (Serves 8)

3lb Pork Tenderloin

1/4 tsp Black Pepper

1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper

1/4 c Chicken Broth

1/4 c Soy Sauce

4 tsp Grated Fresh Ginger

1 Tbsp Lemon Juice

1 Tbsp Seseme Oil

2 Cloves Garlic, Minced

2 Tbsp Cornstarch

2 Tbsp Cold Water

2 Tbsp Green Onions

1 Tbsp Seseme Seeds, toasted

Place the pork tenderloin in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the pork with the black pepper and cayenne pepper.

Mix the broth, soy sauce, ginger, lemon juice, sesame oil, and garlic in a separate bowl.

Pour the sauce over the pork tenderloin.

Cover and cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours or High for 2.5 to 3 hours.

Move the pork to a separate serving dish and cover to keep warm.

Pour the remaining juice through a strainer into a pot.

Mix the cornstarch and water in a separate bowl. Pour this into the juice.

Heat the juice until it starts bubbling over medium heat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Chop the green onions.

Slice the pork. Pour the sauce over the pork tenderloin and sprinkle with the green onions and sesame seeds.


I served the pork with rice and baked asparagus. The pork was so good! My family loved it too! This is another must try.
