Ingredients
- 1.5 lb. flank steak partially frozen
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
Recipe
-
Preheat your oven to 225 degrees F. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Unfold the steak and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the beef crosswise, against the grain (so that you sever the tough, thin fibers that you can see on the steak) into 2-inch-wide strips.
-
You want the strips to be around ⅛-inch thick, so if they are thicker, slice each strip lengthwise into two thinner, ⅛-inch-thick strips. This is easier to do if the meat is partially frozen.*
-
Allow the meat strips to rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes so that they fully defrost and become more pliable. Then arrange them in a single layer on a cutting board, cover them with cling wrap, and use a meat pounder to pound them so that they are thinner and more even in thickness.
-
Place the beef strips in a large bowl. Add the salt, pepper, and spices and toss with your hands until the meat is thoroughly coated.
-
Arrange the meat pieces on the two prepared baking sheets, not touching each other. Bake for 3 hours, rotating the position of the baking sheets midway, until the beef is browned and dry. The smell will be amazing!
-
Remove the strips to a cooling rack placed on a tray or on foil (to catch any drips). Allow to cool and dry for about 30 minutes before enjoying. Refrigerate any leftovers. They're delicious straight out of the fridge.
