To make the pork on an outdoor grill, cook directly over medium-high heat, turning every few minutes, until grill marks appear on all sides. Then transfer to indirect heat until pork reaches desired doneness.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill pan
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine oil, garlic, and chili powder in a large, shallow dish. Add pork, and turn to coat evenly with chili mixture. Sprinkle pork with sesame seeds, and press seeds into meat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat, and brush with oil. Add pork, and cook until browned and grill marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer pan to oven. Roast pork to desired doneness, 17 to 18 minutes for medium. Let stand for at least 5 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve with pan juices.
