Toss the pork wiht the oil, lemon zest, oregano and pepper, let marinate for 1 to 6 hours. About 30 minutes before cooking combine the minced onion, garlic, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Right before cooking whisk in the olive oil.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Saute the pork, seasoning with salt and pepper, turn the pieces to brown evenly.
