Sponsored By www.Apnafoodtv.com

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs beef
1 tablespoon coriander
1 tablespoon cumin
3/4 - 1 tablespoon peppercorns
1/2 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
There are 2 parts to this recipe; making the beef jerky and frying the spiced dried beef jerky.

Recipe Method
Making Beef Jerky

Grind cumin, coriander (cilantro seeds) and peppercorns into a coarse mixture. If you are using a food processor, use ground pepper instead; the peppercorns seem to escape the blade. Mortar and pestle work well for me.
Cut the beef into 4 inch by 1/2 inch strips. Add the spice mixture above, sugar and salt. Mix or massage the spices into the beef.
Heat up your oven to 170 F. Line the oven rack with the strips. Space them out for fast and even drying. Leave the oven door ajar to let the moisture out. Dry the heavenly beef for at least 1 hour. Two hours, though, is ideal for storage. The meat will be dry and turn darker, almost purplish.
Storage
The uncooked dried heavenly beef can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for months. You can drop the beef directly into frying pan when you need to.

Cooking Beef Jerky

Fry the heavenly beef in cooking oil until cooked. It's done when it turns reddish brown.
Enjoy heavenly beef hot or at room temperature with rice or sticky rice. Or, if you're like me, just snack on it plain.
