Sauce
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup cola
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
Remaining Ingredients
2 pork tenderloin, about 1 pound each
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

1
Make the sauce: in a saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil.
2
Add in the onion; cook until the onion begins to brown, 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Add in the remaining sauce ingredients; simmer 5-10 minutes; remove from the heat.
4
Let the tenderloins stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
5
Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the tenderloins; coat them evenly with the sesame oil.
6
Season generously with salt and pepper; grill over direct medium heat until well marked on two sides, about 5 minutes, turning once.
7
Using a brush, cover the tenderloins with a thin coating of the sauce and continue to grill until the pork is barely pink in the center, 10-15 minutes, turning and basting with the remaining sauce every 5 minutes.
8
Let rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing on the bias; serve warm.
