Beef jerky is no longer considered a luxury snack, but I can’t find the flavor I wanted when I was a kid.
Some of the beef jerky sold outside is too dry and hard, which is a torture for people with bad teeth.
Or the price is too beautiful, you can't open your stomach and eat it all at once.
So I decided to make it myself. Although the process is a bit long, not only does it have a mellow taste and bite, but also the taste can be prepared by myself.
Especially the elderly and children can eat beef jerky snacks that can be made with confidence.

Air Fryer Version Five Spice Beef Jerky

1. Clean up the hind legs of the beef, and then cut along the texture into strips the thickness of a little finger

2. Soak the beef strips in clean water for one hour, fully soak the blood, and then drain the water. Just go through the washing machine with me and wash it once.

3. Put the sliced green onion and ginger into the beef strips, pour in cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, five-spice powder, pepper powder, crushed chili, and white sugar.

4. Stir all the ingredients thoroughly, and marinate for more than 3 hours.

5. Prepare the seasoning for the fried beef strips.

6. Heat oil in a pot, add sliced ginger, pepper, cinnamon, and bay leaves until fragrant.

7. Then pour the marinated beef strips and stir fry quickly.

8. Gradually a lot of water will come out of the beef.

9. Stir-fry until the soup gradually dries, then transfer the beef strips to a large bowl.

10. At this time, add five-spice powder, cumin powder, sugar, and a little vegetable oil, mix well.

11. Place them in a fryer basket or on a baking sheet in the oven. Bake in the fryer at 130 degrees for 8 minutes, and in the oven at 140 degrees for more than 10 minutes. Dry the beef strips to a little bit of moisture before they are out of the pan.

Tips:
1. The meat for beef jerky is best to use lean meat from the hind legs of cattle, otherwise it will be more difficult to bite.
2. The beef strips should be marinated for a long enough time to taste, and it is best to refrigerate overnight.
3. The taste of beef jerky can be changed to spiced, cumin, curry or spicy, and the marinade can be changed according to your own taste.
4. The final roasting process is to low temperature and slow roasting, just dry the fried beef jerky with moisture. The temperature should not be too high, otherwise the beef jerky will be mushy.
