California Farm Sundried Beef Strips

Summer is here, time to sun dry fresh beef strips. We make cold smoked beef jerky and all beef dry smoked kielbasa sausage, but this sun dried cookpad recipe from Hyderabad member ZMA is intriguing, ginger-garlic-green chili paste-red chili paste with turmeric and salt, so I made a pound, it tastes delicious.
I am using a beef bottom round end, a lean cut, one pound. From ZMA’s recipe pictures, her dried beef Kabab looks 1” by 1/4” thick, after drying, so I am going to make 1” by 1/2” thick slices that dry even thinner.
I have fly screens to protect the beef strips while drying. Out during the day, in at night, ZMA says. Yes, Ma’am!

Make a full Tablespoon of each ingredient for the spice paste in food processor, start with fresh green poblano peppers, then dried garlic, then fresh turmeric root, then fresh ginger root, then dried kashmiri pepper, use lemon juice to bring paste to the right consistency.

After three sunny 100F degree days with very low humidity, the sundried beef lost 80 % of its weight and is brittle. Very tasty, like the best dried smoked beef kielbasa sausages. Perfect for a a snack, or light meal, when working outside all day. For next time I make this, I will replace flaked seasalt with fine sea salt, use salt water to soak the beef in and then apply the spices and then sundry.
