Cut tenderloin into medallions about ¾-inch thick. Combine the next four ingredients and rub the medallions on all surfaces with the seasoning mixture. Medallions may be cooked immediately or covered and refrigerated overnight.

Grill or broil the medallions just until done, about 8 to 10 minutes total. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring the water, cinnamon, salt and butter to a boil; stir in couscous, cover, turn off the heat and let rest until all the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.

Serve 2 to 3 medallions with a portion of couscous and chutney.
