Keep a nonstick or cast iron pan on the stove and heat it.
Place the meat slices on the hot pan  and sprinkle with salt and 1/2 of the vinegar.
Let it cook on medium flame until slightly browned. Turn it around every few minutes.
Take these meat pieces and pound them with a hammer or you could pulse them in the food processor for a minute until the meat is shredded.( Do not grind the meat but just shred it , if you think using the food processor will grind it just shred with your hands or 2 forks).
