HONEY SESAME PORK

I love the combination of sesame and honey. It sounds like a sweet combination, and it is, but it’s also a delicious savory combo. Especially when paired with green onions, ginger, and garlic. And juicy, tender pork.
When I got a package of Yucatan Honey from Ava Jane’s Kitchen, I couldn’t wait to try it with some sesame pork. And I have to say, it did not disappoint. The honey is dark amber in color, and rich in flavor. It’s a bit floral, a tad earthy, and just perfect for cooking with.
This pork tenderloin starts in a skillet and then you move it to the oven to finish. This gives it a browned exterior and juicy interior that’s not dry or tough. It’s sweet and savory, and all things good. A sprinkle of crunchy sesame seeds at the end give it just a bit of texture. Serve with rice and sautéed greens for a delicious, easy meal.
