Let tenderloin marinate 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in refrigerator. Remove tenderloin from marinade, and pat dry. Mix together honey and brown sugar in shallow plate. Place sesame seeds on a separate shallow plate. Roll tenderloin in the honey mixture and then in the sesame seeds. Roast in a shallow pan at 375 degrees for 45-60 minutes.
