Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add pork slices in a single layer. Sear without moving for 2 minutes until edges turn golden brown.

  3. Step 3

    Flip pork, add garlic and bay leaf, stir briefly until fragrant — about 30 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in wine, scrape any browned bits from the pan bottom, and simmer 2 minutes until sauce reduces.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Toast or split rolls if desired.

  6. Step 6

    Pile pork and sauce onto rolls. Serve immediately while the meat is hot and juicy.
