YOOXICMAN's Homemade Beef Jerky

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Fennel powder and fermented black bean oil (Chinese-style cured red tofu) are essential for the dish’s distinctive exotic umami flavor—do not skip them; purchase online if unavailable.
• Be sure to wipe away all juices released during baking with a kitchen towel to prevent a soggy surface and ensure a beautiful, appetizing brown color.
• Avoid flipping the entire large piece of jerky at once—it tends to tear easily. Instead, cut it into sections with scissors before flipping for better control.
• The slightly charred edges at the end add a delicious caramelized sweetness that enhances the overall flavor profile.
