  2. Add mixture to a ziplock bag and set aside.

  3. 10 mins

    Trim excess fat off of the meat, and slice thinly perpendicular to the grain of the meat.

  4. 2 hrs

    Add meat slices to bag, mix thoroughly, and refrigerate for 2 - 8 hours.

  5. Remove meat from bag and pat dry with a paper towel.

  6. 7 mins

    Heat large skillet with half of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add half of the meat strips, and cook until browned and the edges are crispy.

    Remove meat from skillet and add a quick sprinkle of salt and pepper while still hot. Repeat previous step with remainder of meat.

Notes

If you don't have a food processor, dice the pear and mince your garlic and ginger and you'll be fine.

Sous vide experiment: 125°F water for ~1 hour per pound of meat, saute just to brown (~30s).
