Nua Sawan (Thai Beef Jerky)

Recipe Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs	1135g / 40oz	Top sirloin or top round
1		Roast
3 teaspoons	15ml	Coriander seeds
1 teaspoon	5ml	Cumin seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Sugar
4 teaspoons	20ml	Thai light soy sauce-aew sai
1 1/2 cups	355ml	Oil

Recipe Instructions

Slice beef across the grain 2"X 3" in size and 1/4" thick. Roast coriander and cumin seeds in a fry pan over low heat until fragrant, cool, and grind coarsely in a mortar or a spice grinder. Combine beef and the rest of the ingredients and marinade 1 hour. Place beef pieces on a cake rack sprayed with Pam and put the rack in a foil lined cookie sheet large enough to catch any liquid dripping from the beef.

Place the cookie sheet in a lowest setting oven until the beef pieces are dry to the touch and no liquid seep out when pressed (between 6-12 hours depending on the oven). Over medium-low heat, heat the oil in a flat-bottomed fry pan and drop the beef in 5-6 pieces at a time.

Fry until crispy on the outside and around the edges. Drain on a cake rack over paper towels. Keeps up to 1 week in an airtight container at room temperature. Serve alone or with cooked sticky rice.

NOTE: Tenderize beef lightly with a mallet if using other cuts of beef. Be sure to drain the oil well. Any excess may become rancid. Cool completely before storing.
