Dried beef is available in various forms, but it can be quite expensive and raises concerns about food safety. Despite the hesitation, there are now recipes available online to make dried beef at home using an oven or a microwave.
However, not everyone has these appliances at home. As a result, resourceful housewives have discovered a way to make dried beef without an oven using an electric rice cooker. This method produces delicious and flavorful dried beef in just 40 to 50 minutes, thanks to the high temperature of the rice cooker that helps dry out the meat, similar to an oven.
The necessary ingredients for this recipe include beef (preferably lean and large cuts), chili powder, sliced ginger, sesame seeds, wine, salt, sugar, and soy sauce. The amount of seasoning can be adjusted according to personal taste.
To make dried beef:
– Rinse the beef and pat it dry. Cut the meat into large, thick slices in the opposite direction for easy consumption and visual appeal.
– Once the meat has dried up, flip it again to ensure it is completely firm and dry.
– Remove the dried beef from the rice cooker, tear it into bite-sized pieces, and it is ready to be enjoyed.
Homemade dried beef allows you to adjust the seasoning and level of spiciness according to your preference. It is a cost-effective and convenient way to enjoy this popular snack. Give it a try!
