3.5kg of lean meat (beef or game)

1/4 cup of ground white pepper

Chilli powder to taste (I like around 6 tablespoons)

Tent
D I R E C T I O N S
-
Cut the beef in to1-2cm wide strips, ensuring you remove excess fat and sinue
-
Lay the beef down and spray generously all over with the balsamic and worcestershire
-
Mix up all the dry ingredients and sprinkle generously over both sides of the meat.
-
Bend the paperclips out so they have a hook on each end and hook one end in to the strips
-
Run the string doubled over across the tent, and wind it so there are curls every 2cm or so.
-
Hang the meat in the curls of the string and leave for approx 2-3 days with all vents open.
-
Remove when it is dry to your liking.
-
Store it in the freezer to stop it drying out too much.
