Gather @pork loin{600%g}, @white wine{200%ml}, @sweet paprika{2%tsp}, @bay leaf{2%leaf} and @bread roll{4}.

Combine the pork slices with the wine, @garlic{6%clove}, paprika and bay leaves in a bowl; cover and marinate at least 1 hour. ~{1%hours}

Lift the pork from the marinade, shaking off the excess, and reserve the marinade.

Heat the @lard{2%tbsp} in a skillet over high heat and sear the pork in batches until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per batch.

Return all the pork to the pan, pour in the reserved marinade, and simmer until tender and the liquid reduces to a garlicky jus, about 15 minutes. ~{15%minutes}

Split the bread rolls and pile the pork and its jus inside.

Dunk the cut faces of the rolls in the pan juice before closing.

Finish with a stripe of @yellow mustard{2%tbsp} on top and eat while the bread is still warm and soaked through.
