Ingredients:

1 teaspoon pure olive oil 1 pork tenderloin pork ¾ to 1 pound total ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 sweet onions coarsely chopped 2 cloves garlic 2 apples such as Honeycrisp, cored and sliced 4 cups loosely packed sliced cabbage about ¼ head 3 bay leaves, preferably fresh

Preparation:

Heat the oven to 350°F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with half the salt and pepper. When the oil is shimmering, add the pork and sear until well browned, about 2 minutes per side.
Scoot the meat to one side. To the same skillet, add onion, garlic, apples, and cabbage. Season with remaining salt and pepper. Lift the pork with a pair of tongs and stir the vegetables and apple to combine. Place the tenderloin on top.
Transfer to the oven and bake until the internal temperature registers 145°F when measured with an instant-read thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately with mustard, if desired.
