1/4 cup port wine or 1/4 cup other sweet red wine
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons butter

1
If you have one large tenderloin, cut it into 16 medallions. If you have 2 small tenderloins, cut each one into 8 slices. Sprinkle with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2
Saute pork slices in oil in a large skillet for 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer pork to a serving platter and keep warm.
3
Drain the fat from the skillet; add onion and garlic, and saute 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly browned -- be careful not to burn it.
4
Add wine, water, and vinegar; stir well. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer uncovered, until the liquid is reduced to 1/3 cup.
5
Add the butter, stirring until the butter melts. Spoon sauce over the pork; sprinkle with cilantro.
