Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 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
• 2 lamb tenderloin, about 1 pound each
• 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
• kosher salt
• fresh ground black pepper

Recipe

• 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 lamb 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.
