Pat tenderloin dry and rub with 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet on medium, heat 2 tsp oil. Add tenderloin; cook 2 minutes, until browned. Turn the pork by one-quarter and sear 2 more minutes. Turn once more by one-quarter and sear 2 minutes. Turn off heat and transfer pork to a plate. Add cabbage mixture to skillet (reserve bowl) and place tenderloin on top, unseared portion facing down.
