Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Beef
In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a marinade. Cut the beef flank steak into thin strips and add to the marinade. Make sure all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for better flavor.
- 2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C). This low temperature is essential for drying out the beef without cooking it.
- 3
Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking. Arrange a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow air circulation.
- 4
Arrange the Beef Strips
After marinating, remove the beef strips from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to reduce moisture and allows for better drying. Arrange the strips in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not touch.
- 5
Bake the Beef
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 4 to 6 hours, or until the beef is dry and chewy but not hard. Check the beef every hour to ensure it's drying properly.
- 6
Cool and Store
Once done, remove the beef from the oven and let it cool completely on the wire rack. Once cooled, store the beef strings in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for a few days or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
