Ingredients

  • 4 beef tenderloin fillets
  • 1 tsp ground fennel seeds
  • 1 1/2 tsp black pepper, divided
  • 1 1/4 tsp kosher salt, divided

  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced unpeeled Fuji apple

  1. Preheat oven to 425. Coat fillets on both sides evenly with ground fennel seeds, 1 tsp pepper, and 3/4 tsp salt. Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add fillets; cook until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven; cook at 425 until cooked to your liking, 3-5 minutes. Transfer fillets to a plate; let rest 5 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, whisk together vinegar, canola oil, remaining 2 tbsp. olive oil, remaining 1/2 tsp pepper and remaining 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl. Add sliced fennel, apple, onion and parsley; toss to coat. Divide slaw among 4 plates. Slice fillets; divide among plates. Garnish with fennel fronds.
