Method

  1. Begin by rubbing the pork tenderloins all over with crumbled dried sage. Then, sprinkle them with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter until it is hot and bubbling.

  3. Add the pork tenderloins to the skillet and cook them until they are brown on all sides. Make sure to turn them occasionally, which should take about 6 minutes.

  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and continue cooking the pork until a thermometer inserted into it registers 150°F. Remember to turn the pork occasionally during this process, which should take about 10 minutes longer.

  5. Once cooked, transfer the pork to a platter and cover it to keep it warm.

  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 5 tablespoons of maple syrup, 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard until well blended. Set this mixture aside.

  7. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vinegar to the skillet and bring it to a boil, making sure to scrape up any browned bits.

  8. Reduce the heat to medium-low and return the pork (along with any accumulated juices) to the skillet. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the pork and turn it in the glaze until it is coated, which should take about 2 minutes.

  9. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Proceed to cut the pork into 1
