Directions for Tenderloin with Pear-Cran Chutney
- Add 1 tbsp of oil to 12-inch skillet and place over medium-high heat. Once smoke rises from oil, add the onion, garlic, and juice. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until onion is tender but not brown.
- Add the pears, cranberries, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer chutney to a bowl and set aside.
- Bring the heat back up to medium and add the beef to the skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side.
- Serve with the chutney.
