Garlic Sesame Pork Tenderloin

How to Make Garlic Sesame Pork Tenderloin

This quick and easy pork tenderloin recipe gets its savory flavor from a garlic sesame marinade. The tenderloin is cut into slices and pan-seared so it cooks up faster than roasting the whole tenderloin. For a lighter, low carb version of a classic “meat and potatoes” meal, pair this pork tenderloin with our low carb Cauliflower Mashed “Potatoes” and Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Remove any silver skin from the pork with a sharp knife. Slice the pork into ½” thick medallions.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the remaining ingredients. Add the pork and toss with the marinade. Cover and put in the fridge for 20 minutes to marinate.
  3. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
  4. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. Add the pork and sear for 1 minute per side or until golden brown.
  5. Put the skillet in your preheated oven and cook for 5 minutes. Flip the pork and cook for 5 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145 degrees F.
  6. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
