To get started, simply cut the tenderloin into quarters and sear on all sides in a skillet.

After the meat is browned, place it on a baking sheet in a 500 degree F. oven for 15 minutes.

Saute some red cabbage in the skillet along with the juices that remain from the tenderloin and a few seasonings.

A little ginger, some garlic and a dash of cinnamon will do.

Add some Granny Smith apples to the cabbage and cook until softened.

When the tenderloin reaches 165 degrees F, take it out of the oven and slice thinly. Serve over top the cabbage and apples.

Simple, easy and delish!
