Has anybody ever tried drying beef tapa in a 50 deg C oven overnight? I did this with pork belly strips marinated Chinese-style and it worked beautifully. I stuck a skewere through the strips and hung it from the top shelf and placed a baking sheet under to catch any drips. A very small amount of fat rendered out, which was what I was actually aiming for. I’m no food scientist/physicist but maybe someone out there is. Does the overnight oven-drying approximate sun-drying sans the flies and creepy crawlies?

Chuck, then buy a cookbook. Don’t read a blog. And don’t get huffy about it as this recipe came to you absolutely free. Duh.

Keep it simple and short, ingredients&mode of preparation is enough.

I hate to read through a lengthy novel when I’m cooking.

Julie, for first time commenters, it requires that the moderator, me, reads it and manually approves it. It is to prevent clever spammers, really obscene or offensive comments or comments that don’t have anything to do with the topic at hand. But once the first comment has been moderated, all subsequent comments will immediately appear, and only if there is something objectionable will it be possibly subsequently removed. Some degree of moderation is required with a blog of this size as out of 1,000 folks who visit it, 998 are perfectly normal while 1-2 or a bit whacky…

Hi Marketman (again):
May I know what your comment: “Your comment is awaiting moderation” means? Just curious.
