Spread the meat on the baking paper, place a cling wrap on top and roll flat using rolling pin.
Remove the cling wrap and bake in preheated oven 160 C for 15 mins.
Take the meat out of oven and place onto a cutting board. Set the oven to 230 C on grill mode.
Slice the meat into smaller pieces, change the baking paper and place cut pieces on it.
HONEY GLAZE: Prepare honey glaze by mixing water with honey. Brush the honey glaze on both sides of the meat.
