Pork With Garlic Cream Sauce

Stirring the Pot's Note:

This is a recipe I received from a caterer in town. She served this unique dish at an event and everyone really enjoyed it. It is pork tenderloin sliced thin and broiled for 3-5 minutes on each side. The pork slices are topped with a cream cheese based sauce that is really a delicious twist. I have made this at home several times. The sesame seeds in the recipe are optional. I have had the dish with and without them and it is great either way.

This was an uncomplicated and tastey dish. I did, however, substitute cream for the milk and cream cheese. I'm sure this had a profound effect on the taste ... and that it would only taste better with the cream cheese. Thanks for a simple, classy recipe! (You'll see in my pic, I put the sauce on the egg noodles -- yum!)
