Ten stars! This tenderloin is so darned good - it's going straight into my Best of 2024 file! I lined the enameled cast iron pan with banana leaves, placed the pork on them, poured the marinade over, then semi "wrapped" the pork with more banana leaves. I think this gives the dish added flavor that foil can never duplicate. The resulting sauce still carries that flavor profile from the leaves, and is absolutely delicious, though sweet. We couldn't get enough of that sauce! The tenderloin came our juicy and tender. I recommend making double the sauce - you won't be sorry! Thanks for sharing!
