Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, catsup, and garlic powder. Place pork in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish; pour soy sauce mixture over meat. Turn pork to coat all sides. Close bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning meat in marinade occasionally.

  • Drain pork, discarding marinade. Place pork on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer. Roast, uncovered, in a 325 degree F oven for 45 to 60 minutes or until thermometer registers 160 degree F.*

  • Sprinkle sesame seed on a piece of foil. Carefully roll pork in sesame seed. Cut into thin slices. Serve with mustard, if you like. Makes 8 to 10 appetizer servings or 4 main-dish servings.

*

To grill, in a covered grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan. Test for medium** heat above the pan.* Place pork, fat side up, on grill rack over drip pan (not directly over coals). Insert a meat thermometer. Close grill hood. Grill for 30 to 45 minutes or until thermometer registers 160 degree F.

**

To test for medium heat, you should be able to hold your hand over the drip pan at the height of the food for 4 seconds before you have to pull away.
