3. Pour 1/2 cup of the marinade mixture made in step two into a small, sealable container. Add the two tablespoons of honey and combine. Set aside.
4. Add the pork strips and marinade to a sous vide bag. Seal and marinate the meat at least 3 hours, but overnight would be better.
5. Follow sous vide instructions for pork, (long slow cook is better.)
6. After cooking in sous vide, line a baking tray large enough to accomodate a cooling rack with tin foil. Remove the Pork from the sous vide bag, place on rack, and broil for 3-4 minutes until pork is almost dry looking.
7. Brush the reserved marinade with honey glaze over the top and return to broiler, turning every 3-4 minutes, and brushing with more of the glaze.  Continue to broil until glaze is bubbling and there are some charred edges.
8. Rest for a few minutes, then thinly slice the pork and enjoy.
