Kilishi (Nigerian Beef Jerky)

Zutaten

• 250–300 g beef, trimmed of fat and sliced very thin
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 small piece (about 1 inch) fresh ginger
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 stock cube
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 2–3 tbsp water (as needed)
• 1 tsp dried cayenne pepper seeds
• 1 tsp suya spice

Zubereitung

1. Rub salt on both sides of the beef slices and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Lay the slices flat on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 250°C (482°F) for 15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
3. Pound or blend the ginger and garlic into a paste. In a bowl, mix the paste with the stock cube, cloves, cayenne seeds, suya spice, and a few tablespoons of water to form a marinade.
4. Rub the marinade onto the partially baked meat slices, coating them well.
5. Return the slices to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, flipping occasionally until fully dry and slightly crispy.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving or storing.
