Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons butter, divided

  • 1/4 cup fennel seeds

  • 1/4 cup fresh rosemary leaves

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • 2 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin

  • 3 large green apples

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1/4 cup white wine

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the fennel seeds, rosemary, salt and pepper in a food processor and process until fine. Massage the mixture onto all sides of the pork.

  • Over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Add the pork and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pork to a baking pan and place in the oven. Cook until it reaches 145°F internally, about 30 minutes.

  • Melt the remaining butter. Add the apples and cook until soft, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until all liquid has evaporated. Thinly slice the pork and serve with warm apples.
