Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Trim any silver skin from the tenderloin. Slice across the grain into 6–8 mm thick medallions. Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, honey, and black pepper. Coat the pork with the marinade and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes. Drain excess marinade before grilling. Grill over medium-high heat, turning once or twice, until browned and cooked to a safe internal temperature.

Step 2.
Serve immediately, optionally with the sesame-salt dipping sauce. Shichirin tip: Pork tenderloin is very lean. Avoid leaving cooked pieces on the grate while preparing the next batch.
