- Ready In:
- 18hrs 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
20
ingredients
- 3 lbs flank steaks, lean lean lean
- 3 garlic cloves, minced fine
- 1 cup coconut aminos, it's a Paleo alternative to Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
directions
- Partially freeze the meat - 2 to 4 hours, so that you can slice it super thin. When it's all nice and frosty, slice your hunk o' meat into nice thin strips - and remove all the fat. I didn't do that the first time and the results were gross! The fat doesn't dry out, it just gets kind of squidgy and gelatinous. Bleck!
- Place the coconut aminos and all other remaining ingredients in a large zip-lock bag. Add in the meat. Shake and smoosh to completely soak the meat. Place the bag in the fridge and marinate for 2-24 hours - longer is better.
- Place the marinated meat in your handy-dandy dehydrator. If you don't have one, you can use your oven set at about 170ºF, 80ºC. Dry the meat strips for as long as it takes - usually about 12 -18 hours.

Although I am a US citizen, I have spent most of my adult life living outside of the States. I've raised my family all over the world - and I have to say that my four kids are pretty terrific!
I am always looking for recipes that only call for basic ingredients. Because I don't live in the US, I often can't find packages or this, or jars and cans of that, even certain spices can be tricky.
My favorite cookbooks are the New Joy of Cooking, and anything by Nigela Lawson.
My passions are cooking and eating - big surprise there.
I have no pet peeves, I don't keep any peeves around long enough to make them into pets.
I especially love baking, but I'm trying to get away from that - the carbs are starting to stick to my hips a little too easily.
I took a Sushi making course recently. It was a lot of fun; I now know that I need to GO OUT for Sushi, not make it myself.
