Ingredients

Pork Tenderloin

2 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin

Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 1/2 cups cups Cabernet Sauvignon

3 shallots, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

2 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk

3 Red Pears

3 Honey Crisp apples

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400F

Season pork tenderloin with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat a large, oven-proof skillet and olive oil over medium-high. Sear tenderloin on all sides, about 2 minutes a side, and set aside.

Add wine to the skillet and deglaze. Add shallots, garlic and thyme, reduce heat and simmer 1 to 2 minutes.

Return tenderloin to skillet and add pears and apples. Cover and cook in the oven until center of the pork reaches a temperature of 145 degrees, about 20 minutes.

Remove pork to a cutting board, cover, and let rest about 5 minutes. Cut on the diagonal into 1/2-inch slices, plate and top with fruit and wine mixture.
