Instructions

1. Prep: Slice cabbage thin. Slice onion. Slice apple. Pat tenderloin dry; cut into 1-inch medallions and season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sear pork (stove): Heat a large skillet over medium-high with 1 tbsp olive oil. Sear medallions 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to 145°F. Transfer to a plate.
3. Sauté cabbage base: Lower heat to medium. Add butter, onions, and a pinch of salt; cook 2–3 minutes. Add cabbage (and optional caraway/smoked paprika). Toss and cook 6–8 minutes until wilted but still a bit crisp.
4. Build quick sauce: Push cabbage to the edges. In the center add apples with a drizzle of oil if needed; cook 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar, Dijon, honey, and stock/water; scrape up browned bits. Simmer 2–3 minutes to lightly thicken.
5. Finish: Return pork and any juices to the pan for 1–2 minutes to warm through. Taste and adjust salt/pepper. Serve pork over the tangy-sweet cabbage and apples.
