When done, place under IR burner and rotate slowly to crisp.
Slice the meat down from top to bottom to create small strips.The drippings that accumulate on the baking sheet make the best marinade so don't discard.
No IR burner, once the meat is sliced, keep on sheet pan and place under broiler for 3-5 minutes to make a little crispy.
