Ingredients

Scale

1 lb pork tenderloin
2 medium Granny Smith apples, sliced
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil until shimmering. Season pork with salt and pepper, then sear in the skillet for about 10 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add onions and garlic; sauté for around 3 minutes until softened. Add sliced apples and cook until slightly caramelized.
Stir in Dijon mustard and chicken broth along with thyme, scraping the bottom of the pan to release flavorful bits.
Nestle the seared pork back into the skillet among the apples. Cover and simmer on low for about 15 minutes or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Let rest briefly before slicing into medallions and serving warm with pan juices.
