Preparation:
Combine the spices in a dish. Cut the meat into strips less than 1/4 of an inch thick.
Remove ALL fat. Sprinkle one side with the combined seasonings and beat with a meat hammer.
Turn and repeat the seasoning and beating. Place the strips on a cookie sheet or other flat pan. Place in a 120 F oven for 4 hrs.
Turn and put back for another 4 hrs. Keep the oven door propped open for the entire time to allow the moisture to escape. With a gas oven, the pilot light may be enough to provide the heat.
Store in a plastic bag. Also may be stored in a pillowcase. Do not store in a paper bag. |
