2 Tbsp / 30 mL canola oil
2 tart apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

1 cup / 250 mL apple cider, dry
1 tsp + ½ tsp / 7 mL chopped fresh sage leaves, or ½ tsp / 2 ml dried sage leaves

Directions

  1. With sharp knife, slice tenderloin into 8 equal pieces. Flatten slightly with palm of hand to ½-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sear medallions, about 2 minutes per side.
