Grilled Beef Jerky
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless beef sirloin or flank steak
- 2 tablespoons minced lemongrass
- 1 tablespoon crushed coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons nam pla or nuoc mam
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Freeze the meat for 30 to 60 minutes, until it is semisolid.
- Slice as thinly as possible (if you have a slicing machine, this is the time to use it).
- Combine the meat with all the remaining ingredients.
- Marinate for 2 to 24 hours.
- Drain the meat, then place it on a rackthe slices should not be touching one anotherand put it in an oven set at its lowest temperature (or place in the sun, or use a dehydrator).
- Cook the meat, turning it occasionally, until dry but still pliable, at least 4 hours and probably more (if it takes less time than that, your oven is too hot; you can proceed, but next time look for a tamer heat source).Wrap and refrigerate the meat for up to a couple of days if you like.
- Start a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be quite hot and the rack no more than 4 inches from the heat source.
- Grill the slices quickly, until lightly browned on both sides.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
