- Refrigerate for 1 and 1/2 hours, tossing the meat several times.

- Add the onions and bell pepper to the skillet and saute until softened.
- Discard the bay leaves, then pour the reserved marinade into the pan with the onions and bell pepper, and heat for 5 minutes.
- Add the pork back into the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Slice the buns and spoon some of the sauce & onions over half of each bun, then pile with meat.

Butter ;) the wine marinades the meat and yes it does give it flavor too- so maybe add a little apple cider too.
