Step 1
Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 2
Working in batches, sear pork 2–3 minutes per side until edges are golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add pearl onions to the same skillet, cook 2 minutes until lightly browned, then stir in tomato paste and oregano until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 4
Pour in wine and crushed tomatoes, scraping up any browned bits. Return pork and add olives, then bring to a simmer.
Step 5
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes until sauce thickens and pork is tender throughout.
Step 6
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot over rice or crusty bread.
