Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt.
Place the pork slices into a resealable plastic bag or large bowl, and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag (if using) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for stronger flavor).
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the pork slices from the marinade (discarding any excess liquid), and cook them in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 145°F).
Remove the cooked pork slices from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing pork slices on the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw, a drizzle of barbecue sauce (if desired), or any other preferred toppings.
Place the top bun over the filling, serve immediately, and enjoy!
