Instructions

1. Prep the grill: preheat to medium-high (about 425–450°F). Clean and oil the grates.
2. Prep the tenderloin: pat dry 1 lb pork tenderloin. Trim silver skin if needed.
3. Make a quick rub: mix 1 tsp kosher salt, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp ground coffee (or instant espresso), 1/2 tsp brown sugar, and black pepper. Rub all over the tenderloin with 1 tsp oil.
4. Grill the pork: place tenderloin on the grill. Cook 16–22 minutes total, turning every 4–5 minutes, until the thickest part hits 145°F. Transfer to a plate and rest 8–10 minutes.
5. Make the winter slaw (while pork grills): in a bowl combine 8 oz shredded cabbage, 1/2 cucumber thinly sliced, and 1/4 onion thinly sliced. Toss with dressing: 2 Tbsp vinegar (apple cider or rice), 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp Dijon, 1 tsp honey (optional), pinch salt, and (optional) 1 grated garlic clove. Taste and adjust salt/acid.
6. Sear the apples (stove): heat a skillet over medium-high with 1 tsp butter or oil. Add 1 sliced Fuji apple and cook 2–3 minutes per side until browned and just tender. Pinch of salt makes the sweetness pop.
7. Slice and serve: slice rested pork into 1/2-inch medallions. Serve with crunchy slaw and warm seared apples on the side.
