This pork tenderloin is marinated in this sweet and smoky glaze, then cook over hot charcoal.

- Marinate at room temperature for about 45 minutes.
- In a small saute pan toast the sesame seeds for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
- Start a charcoal fire. When the coals are ashy and white sprinkle the wood chips over, and place the tenderloins on the grill.
