15-Min Garlic Pork Bifanas

Thin-sliced pork shoulder seared with tons of garlic, vinegar, and a pinch of paprika, then stuffed into soft rolls. The whole thing takes 10 minutes and tastes like a Lisbon street-food stand.

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not brown, 30 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add pork slices, sprinkle with paprika and salt, then brown for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in vinegar and stir to coat. Simmer 1–2 minutes until liquid coats the pork and slightly reduces.

  5. Step 5

    Toast the bread rolls in the empty side of the skillet, 30 seconds per side, or use a separate toaster.

  6. Step 6

    Divide pork and all pan liquid between the rolls. Serve immediately, dripping hot.
