PORK TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH WILTED CABBAGE AND APPLES

Steps:

• Slice the pork tenderloin at a long angle into 4 "steaks" and sprinkle with the thyme and a total of 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking. Add the steaks to the skillet and cook, turning once, until well browned and just a bit pink in the center, about 7 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium if the skillet starts to get too dark. Put each steak on a plate to rest.
• While the steaks cook, core and slice the apple and thinly slice the cabbage. Stir together the broth, vinegar and sugar in a small bowl.
• When the pork has finished cooking, add the cabbage, apples, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the same skillet. Cook, tossing, until slightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth mixture and continue to cook until the cabbage is tender and the liquid has reduced slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley leaves. Season with additional salt and pepper.
• Divide the cabbage and apples and any juices in the skillet among the plates with the steaks. Serve with a roll.
