Ingredients
- about 450 g Pork Tenderloin (thinly sliced)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup White Wine
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 leaf Bay Leaf
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

- 4 teaspoons Mustard (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, combine the about 450 g of thinly sliced Pork Tenderloin, 4 cloves of minced Garlic, 1/2 cup of White Wine, 1 tablespoon of Paprika, 1 leaf of Bay Leaf, 1/2 teaspoon of Salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of Black Pepper. Stir everything together to coat the pork evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- 2Place a large skillet on the stovetop and add 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat, which is about 190°C, until it shimmers.
- 3Carefully add the marinated pork to the hot skillet in a single layer, trying not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the pork is browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 63°C.
- 4Remove the cooked pork from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Discard the 1 leaf of Bay Leaf from the skillet.
- 5Slice the 4 rolls Crusty Rolls in half horizontally. If you are using mustard, spread 1 teaspoon of Mustard on the inside of each roll half.
- 6Place the cooked pork slices into the prepared rolls. Serve immediately.
