Sesame Pork with Garlic Cream Sauce

A blend of garlic, cream cheese, and chives creates a delicious sauce to accompany broiled slices of pork tenderloin.

Ingredients:

- 1.5 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds

- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, cut into cubes and softened
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, or 1 teaspoon dried chives

Directions:

Cut pork into 12 slices. Flatten slices to 1/2-inch thickness.

Set oven control to broil. Brush oil on both sides of pork. Place pork on rack in broiler pan. Sprinkle with half of the sesame seeds.

Broil pork with tops 4-6 inches from heat for 6 minutes, then turn. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seed. Broil about 5 minutes longer, or until pork is no longer pink in center.

Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook garlic in butter for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat. Add cream cheese and milk. Cook 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth and hot. Stir in chives. Serve sauce with pork.
