Ingredients
2 pork tenderloins, about 500 g each

1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 red apples, preferably Red Delicious, cored and thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside. Brush pork with Dijon and sprinkle with salt. Season with pepper.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add oil, then pork. Sear meat, turning often, until dark golden brown, 5 to 7 min. Transfer pork to prepared sheet.
Roast in centre of oven until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat reads 160F, 20 to 22 min. Transfer to a cutting board. Let stand 5 min.
Melt butter in same frying pan over medium. Add apples, sugar and rosemary. Cook until apples are tender, 3 to 5 min. Add brandy and boil for 1 min. Slice pork tenderloin into medallions. Divide among 6 plates. Serve with apple mixture.
