Combine the garlic with a press or in a mortar. Add the remaining ingredients, except the pork, and make into a paste. Toss the cubed pork with the paste in a bowl or smear onto the whole tenderloin. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. Coast large skillet with olive oil and heat until smoking. If using the whole tenderloin, slice it into 1/2 inch slices.
