Although the recipe calls for port, you can use any relatively sweet red wine in this recipe. I like to use this when my grocery store puts pork tenderloin buy one get one free ! Ingredients:
1 1/4 lbs pork tenderloin, usually i get 2 3/4 lb tenderloins |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped |
1 teaspoon garlic, minced |
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 |
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped |
Directions:
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.
