Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork tenderloin
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fat-free chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped dried apple
  • 3/4 cup coarsely chopped pitted dried plum
  • 1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Method

  • Cut the tenderloin crosswise on the diagonal into 3/4-inch medallions. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a large nonstick skillet with a lid, heat the oil over high until nearly smoking. Add the medallions and cook until well browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • To the skillet, add the broth, apples, plums, mustard, vinegar and thyme. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the fruits have softened and the sauce has thickened, about 8 minutes.
  • Return the pork to the sauce and simmer until the pork is no longer pink at the center, about 3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
