Get a thick piece of beef.
Cut it into big pieces with irregular sizes.

Mix chiili powder, black pepper powder, salt(good amount), turmeric, garam masala, ginger garlic paste, curry leaves & little vinigar. All should be mixed in little water to form a very thick paste. Stick this to the meat pieces by hand.

Use a food dydrator and dehydrate the meat pieces in low heat for 8-12 hrs. Make sure all the moisture is removed from the meat.

Heat oil in a pan. Fry these meat as is. This recipe simulates a very old fashioned sun dried beef dish from Kerala.

  Hi Aji,
  Thanks for the recipe. We usually bring a lot of dried beef from India during our trips. We used to bake the dried beef in oven for 15- 20 minutes, then crush it and saute it in a pan with some oil, crushed pepper and some onion. This is my alltime favourite dish.
  
  One more question, how do we access your "recipes of the past" in the internet? do you have a link to the site?

  Ding Ding Meat (Dry style)
  
  
  Good Beef (No Fat) - cut into big thin pcs. – (each pc. Should be as big as yr palm or even a little bigger no problem – because when it dries it will frizzle up) Was the meat pieces nicely, drain off all the water & keep aside.
  
  Grind to a smooth paste:
  Ginger; garlic; Jeera Seeds- roasted & powdered; Chillie pwd; Turmeric Powder; Black Pepper Powder; Garam Masala; Salt to taste; Vinegar.
  
  Take the meat pieces coat each piece of meat with the masala & leave to marinate in the fridge overnight. Next day use a good thick twine, pierce a hole into each piece of meat passing the twine through – treadle all the pieces onto the twine like a clothes line – dry in the sun for 3 days atleast – removing every evening when the sun goes down & hangint it out in the sun the next day – Now the Ding Ding Meat is ready – you could fry these pieces whenever you require the same.
