Zubereitung

1. 1

   --- To marinade ---

2. 2

   Mix the oil with the garlic and ginger and distribute around the tenderloin. Let marinade overnight covered.

3. 3

   On the next day remove the garlic and ginger and season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   --- For the spice mix ---

5. 5

   Mix the ingredients in a bowl and rub it into the tenderloin so the spices can penetrate it.

6. 6

   Heat a bit of vegetable oil in a pan on high heat. Seal the tenderloin on all sides until really golden. You'll see smoke coming out and that's normal because of the sugar caramelizing.

7. 7

   Take to a preheated oven at 180C for 15-20min or until the temperature at the center reaches 63C. We don't want to overcook it or it will dry out.

8. 8

   Take off the oven and let it rest covered in tin foil for 10min so the juices don't come rushing out when we slice it.

9. 9

   --- For the sauce ---

10. 10

    Put everything in a pot and let it boil until it thickens. Remove the garlic.

11. 11

    --- For the salad ---

12. 12

    Whisk together the dressing ingredients and marinade the cucumbers and radishes in the dressing separately for about 10min.

13. 13

    Garnish with black sesame seeds.
