In a medium bowl, add chopped garlic, soy sauce, honey, liquid alulose, hoisin sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, onion powder, oregano, and thyme.

Whisk all the ingredients together well.

Trim the silver skin off the pork tenderloin and cut it in half for easier handling.

Place the pork in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it's well coated.

Remove air from the bag and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably 8 hours or overnight.

Pat the pork dry to remove excess marinade and garlic pieces.

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a cast iron skillet until hot.

Sear the pork tenderloin on each side for 3 minutes until golden brown.

Turn off the flame and add the excess marinade to the skillet.

Bake the pork in the skillet at 400°F for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Add butter to the skillet and whisk to emulsify with the pan juices to create a sauce.

Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Serve the sliced pork topped with the sauce and fresh parsley.
