Heat a skillet over medium heat with EVOO. Add pork, peppers, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Flip the pork. Deglaze with wine. Cook 2-3 more minutes.

Cook's Note:

*If you don't have Panko Bread Crumbs (like I most times don't), substitute w/4Tbl regular dried bread crumbs. 
**Instead of using wine, substitute 1/2C reserved cherry pepper pickling liquid.
