2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ½ inch thick boneless pork loin chops, cut crosswise into ½-inch-wide strips

Marinate the pork for at least 20 minutes, or overnight if you have the time

4
Strip fry until pork is cooked through, approximately 3 to 4 minutes
5
Remove the cooked pork, onion, and pepper to a plate or bowl

Add the reserved marinade to the skillet. Turn the heat up to high, and when the mixture starts to bubble, add in the rum. The sauce will begin to thicken. When it reduces to the consistency of a glaze, return the pork, onion, and pepper to the pan to coat. Stir for a few seconds in order to combine all of the ingredients
