Beef Jerky

We are making beef jerky. We are using induction cooker and a small oven for it.

Boil beef until no blood when poking with chopstick or fork
-> Remove those foams floating on surface
-> Slice beef parallel to its texture
-> Put beef slices back to pot and keep the beef broth almost cover all beef slices
-> Add all sauces (amount per 1.2 kg beef)
60g soy sauce + 50 g sugar + 3/4 tsp salt + 3/4 tsp five spice powder
+ 1 tsp chili powder + 3/2 tsp curry powder + 20 pieces of black peppers
-> medium power (120 oC) for 20 min
-> lower power (100 oC) for 20 min (or until almost no juice)
-> bake at 150 oC for 30 min (or until dry)


五香牛肉乾

材料:
牛腿肉………………2400克
蔥、薑…………………適量
米酒…………………2大匙

調味料:
醬油…………120克(半杯)
黃砂糖………100克(半杯)
鹽、五香粉……各1小匙半
八角…………………2大匙
花椒粒、粗辣椒粉各1大匙

做法:
1) 牛肉放鍋中,加水淹過表面,再加蔥、薑、酒,燜煮到用筷子刺不會出血水(約需30分鐘),連湯一起放涼。
2) 撈起,順紋切片。
3) 放入炒菜鍋中,加4杯煮牛肉的湯,加全部調味料,開中火,翻炒到湯汁變少後改小火,一直炒到湯汁收乾。
4) 用烤箱烤乾。大概用150℃烤30分鐘即可,但要不時把牛肉翻面和移位。

註:
如果沒有黃砂糖,白糖也可;如果沒有八角、花椒,就用一包滷包代替。粗辣椒粉的量可以酌量增減,但不要用做韓國泡菜的那種細辣椒粉。

做牛肉乾的切法與一般烹飪時不同,必需順著肉紋切,成品的纖維才會長。

炒牛肉的火力要隨著牛肉和湯汁的份量調整,份量越多火力就越大,反之火力就要越小。
