Nepalese Jerky

Name: Nepalese Jerky
Ingredients: flank steak, cut across the grain into thick strips; olive oil; red pepper flakes; ginger, grated (or ginger paste); garlic, crushed; ground cumin; ground coriander (two parts coriander to one part cumin)

This is an adaptation of the Nepalese equivalent of jerky. Traditionally, the Nepalese use water buffalo meat. The meat is cut into strips, marinated, then hung over the stove to dry. Prepared this way, the meat will last for quite a long time without refrigeration. When ready to use, they cut the meat into cubes, reconstitute it in water, and use it in recipes like fresh meat.
