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 Roasted Asparagus with Parmesan. Tamari sauce is typically gluten-free, but check the label if you need to follow a gluten-free diet.
