Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Sear pork in batches 90 seconds per side until lightly browned, then set aside.
Step 3
Add minced garlic to the same skillet and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Pour in white wine and vinegar, scraping up browned bits. Return pork to the pan with the bay leaf.
Step 5
Simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and pork is very tender.
Step 6
Lightly toast the roll insides if desired. Fill each with pork and 2–3 tablespoons of sauce, then serve.
