 1 tbsp shiracha
 1 tbsp tomato sauce

 1 tbsp mustard powder

 1 tbsp dijon mustard
 1 tbsp curry powder
 1 tbsp garam masala

 3 bay leaves

Method Steps

1

Take your beef roast and trim off as much fat as possible.

2

Now slice the beef into thin strips and use a meat hammer to fund out the meat. Cover and place in the fridge.

3

Now to make the marinade, place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

4

Take meat out and place into the marinade mix. Let sit at least over night, if not a few days.

5

Place meat on a dehydrator trays making sure they are laying flat and not overlapping or touching each other.

6

Turn dehydrator onto 52 degrees C for aprox 8 hours checking occasionally. You may need to rate your trays.

7

To check meat for dryness take a piece out and let it cool, it's hard to tell properly when the meat is still warm. It should be pliable but split when bent.

If you dont have a dehydrator you can use an oven at the same temp with the door slightly open. You can add all different types of seasonings and things depends on what you like.
