How to make super delicious air-dried beef jerky?

First cut the beef shank into melon strips (not too thick) and soak it in cold water for an hour, then filter the blood (be sure to Strain the blood water, otherwise it will be fishy) Pour in soy sauce, cooking wine, dark soy sauce~

Add onion, ginger, garlic (less garlic, more ginger), star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, cumin, chili, sesame salt, chicken essence Put it in and start marinating. I usually add four teaspoons of salt for my heavy taste. I use many kinds of cumin peppers, whole cumin peppers, half-crushed cumin peppers, and cumin pepper noodles

Stir evenly, I usually use my hands for this step

Cover the evenly stirred meat with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for about 20 hours

Take out the meat and hang it, I use Use a clothes hanger with a clip, put the meat one by one on the ventilated back balcony to air-dry

If you like it drier, air-dry it for three days; if you like it softer and moister, air-dry it for one and a half days (the dryer one is about More than three kilograms of beef will produce one kilogram of dryness, and if it is wet, about two and a half kilograms of beef will produce one kilogram of dryness)

Observe the drying situation every morning and afternoon

Ready to start roasting

The aroma can be smelled in the oven

It is also very delicious when it is hot out of the pan

Take out the dried beef and put it in the oven (preheat the oven 180 degrees) and bake for about 20 minutes, turning the beef over during this period (the specific time will depend on the thickness of the beef jerky, open the oven frequently and check, you can use scissors to cut a thicker one to see if it is cooked inside)

I can’t find the picture of the oven. This is baked beef jerky

I like to cut the beef jerky into small pieces and vacuum it. It is convenient to eat and easy to store

If you like a strong taste, you can add some cumin and chili powder after taking it out of the oven
