spicy beef jerky
By RhettStark
When I was at school, a girl in the dormitory was from Sichuan. She would bring many mothers to cook delicious food every year at school. The one I impressed the most was the spicy beef jerky. The taste was by no means comparable to the food in the supermarket. In the past two years, my husband went to Chengdu on a business trip and brought back a lot of beef jerky. Although it was delicious, it felt really different. Maybe the memories were always good. After a few years of work, I finally got free. It was rare that I was in the mood to cook something myself. Of course, I had to pick what I wanted first!

Steps for spicy beef jerky
1
Boil a pot of boiling water, add in the washed beef to boil the blood foam, remove it, soak it in cold water, and pour away the blood.2
Pour appropriate amount of water into the soup pot, add all the spices and salt, and boil together. The spice I use is a spice package of stewed beef bought directly in the supermarket, and then add the beef. If the water has not reached the beef, add boiling water until it is completely gone. If it has not passed, be sure to add boiling water, not cold water, otherwise it will not be cooked well. After boiling over low heat for about an hour, remove, drain and let cool.3
Cut the cooled beef into strips the size of a little finger across the grain. If the cut is too thick, it will not be easy to fry dry. If you like softer ones, you can cut them thicker.4
Pour more oil into a wok and heat it until it is slightly hot. Pour in white sugar and stir-fry until the sugar color is over low heat. Add the beef and stir fry for 1 minute, then pour in the soy sauce and stir well.5
Stir fry over low heat until the beef is dry, add chili powder and pepper powder and stir fry well. Finally, add white sesame seeds and a little MSG before starting the pan and stir well.spicy beef jerky Make Tips
Removing the beef after boiling out the blood and soaking it in cold water firms the meat, while cooking it with spices improves its flavor and texture.
