Tenderloin with Pear-Cran Chutney recipe INGREDIENTS

• 4 beef tenderloin steaks
• 1 tbsp light cooking oil (I use Grapeseed)
• 1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp of grape juice (100% juice)
• 2 firm ripe pears peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions to make Tenderloin with Pear-Cran Chutney Recipe

Step 1

Add 1 tbsp of oil to a 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.

Step 2

Add the pears, cranberries, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Reduce heat to medium-low.

Step 3

Simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.  Transfer chutney to a bowl and set aside.

Step 4

Bring the heat back up to medium and add the beef to the skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side.

Step 5

Serve with the chutney.
