Detailed Steps for Cooking Wind-dried Hand-torn Beef Jerky

Start with a pure dry yak beef without water injection, and remove the fascia.

Slice the beef into thick slices, then cut them into a zigzag shape, try to cut along the grain, which is convenient for later hand-tearing.

A thick slice is cut into a long strip.

There are many fascias in the wrapped beef, all of which need to be sliced off and separately packaged for later use when cooking beef.

See, the meat without fascia is cut very beautifully, and I didn’t touch water. The dried meat is not easy to spoil during drying and airing.

50g scallion is cut into sections and broken, 50g ginger is shredded, 200g onion is shredded, 30g coriander is cut into sections, 40g Chinese prickly ash is cut into small pieces, 20g orange peel is torn into pieces, and 40g garlic is chopped. All are put into the bowl with the beef strips.

Then add 15g salt, 4g white pepper, 5g chicken essence, 25g sugar, 4g thirteen spices, 5g Sichuan pepper powder, 1g alkali, 10g yellow wine, 10g soy sauce, and 10g oyster sauce in turn.

Put on disposable gloves, mix well, and knead for at least ten minutes. After kneading, wrap it with plastic wrap, refrigerate it in the refrigerator for at least two days and two nights to make it tasty, and remember to turn it over halfway through.

The beef marinated for two days is very fragrant.

Hang it up, and fix the small strips that are broken with toothpicks.

Dry in a cool and ventilated place.

It takes about five to seven days, depending on the thickness of the meat strips. It is okay to pinch it slightly soft, or it can be completely dried.

When it is dried, it can be taken down.

Cut it into strips of about five centimeters with scissors.

Steam for about forty-five minutes after steaming on the pot with boiling water.

Take it out and dry it for another two to three days to dry the water vapor. Divide it into small bags and vacuum it before putting it in the refrigerator for storage. It can be eaten for a while.
