How does one reduce a scant cup of liquid to one cup and in 15 minutes yet???

I am a learning new cook of 72. I alos noted the short amount of liquid, but also have a problen with the tenderloin. It calls for cutting into 1/2 inch slices. then pounding it to 1/4 inch. At the end it calls for letting it rest then slicing into rounds, according to the picture. How did it get into a roll to do this. Something seems to be missing. Mine were flat pieces and cooked dry, unfortunately.

jgillard,

Thanks for the suggestions.  I also added more broth to increase to amount of sauce, but I like your soy sauce idea and will try it next time.

I added chicken broth to make the liquid a total of 1-1/4 cup. I also added cornstarch to thicken the sauce when it was simmering. I added a teaspoon of soy sauce at the end which made it very good. I will definitely make again.

Question

Directions call for simmering the sauce 10 to 15 minutes or until reduced to 1 cup. There isn't a cup of liquid in the whole recipe! If the called for 3/4 cup of liquid is simmered for 10 to 15 minutes, you'll end up with less that an half a cup for 4 people. Are the quantities wrong?? Help!
