Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin, trimmed (1 1/4 pounds)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 green or red apple
- 1/2 head small red or green cabbage
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 4 small whole-grain dinner rolls
Instructions
- Slice the pork tenderloin at a long angle into 4 “steaks” and sprinkle with the thyme and a total of 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking. Add the steaks to the skillet and cook, turning once, until well browned and just a bit pink in the center, about 7 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium if the skillet starts to get too dark. Put each steak on a plate to rest.
- While the steaks cook, core and slice the apple and thinly slice the cabbage. Stir together the broth, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl.
- When the pork has finished cooking, add the cabbage, apples, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the same skillet. Cook, tossing, until slightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth mixture and continue to cook until the cabbage is tender and the liquid has reduced slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley leaves. Season with additional salt and pepper.
- Divide the cabbage and apples and any juices in the skillet among the plates with the steaks. Serve with a roll.

Reviews
This was delicious! Even though I had a 1/4 of a pork loin rather than a tenderloin cut it still turned out surprisingly tender. Also there was little prep work so it is a good weeknight meal and it looks beautiful on the plate. If you have a spatter screen use it over the pan to make clean up easier too!
very good…I didn’t have any chicken broth so I used sherry.
Delicious! Doubled the apple, cabbage and sauce and added some leftover homemade Gnocchi. Very fall like dish. Will do again!
Doubled the cabbage and apples, personally wasn’t a big fan of the apples but my family loved it. I usually don’t slice up the tenderloin but this was the most moist we had ever had so I’ll be slicing it up from now on!
