PORK:
- Boneless pork chops or pork loin: Cut the pork into thin slices (1/4 inch thick). The thinner you cut the meat the faster they cook.

SKILLET:
- Bell pepper: I used one red bell pepper, you can use any color of bell pepper. Cut the pepper and remove the seeds. Then slice into thin strips.

BALSAMIC GLAZE:
- Olive oil
