Thai Dry Beef (Neu-uh Hang)

เนื้อแดดเดียว

Ingredients

1 Kg. beef (with some fat sticking to the meat)

3 cloves garlic (crushed)

1 tbsp. fish sauce

1 tbsp. sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. grounded black pepper




Preparations


1. Cut the beef in a long shape (about 7cm.). Make it as thick as your finger.

2. Crush garlic and black peppers altogether. I like to get the whole black peppers and ground them by myself because it has much better smell than the instant one.

3. Now, add crushed garlic and black peppers into a big bowl. Add fish sauce, sugar, salt and soak the beef in it.

4. Wrap the bowl with plastic and leave the bowl of beef inside refrigerator for 3-4 hours, it’s best if you leave it there the whole night.

5. Next, arrange them on the big plate or tray. Dry it with sunshine for about 3 hours. (Now, it’s your job to do whatever you can to keep it away from the flies.) :p


Don’t get disgusted yet. Use the thin white cloth or Fachee to cover the tray while we lay it outside in the sun.


Fry the dry beef in hot vegetable oil and serve with sticky rice…
