Instructions

2. Freeze the beef for 15 minutes to firm it up for easier slicing.
3. Slice the beef across the grain as thinly as possible (1 mm or less).
4. Lay beef slices on paper towels and pat both sides.
5. Sprinkle salt (and smoked salt or pepper if using).
6. Place a rack over a sheet pan. Lay the slices flat without overlap.
7. Bake or dehydrate the slices for 1 hour.
8. Check, then rotate or flip slices if needed.
9. Continue for another 30-60 minutes until crispy but not burnt. (The exact time depends on thickness, fat content, and your oven.
10. Remove the slices from the oven, leave the chips on the rack, and let them cool to get crispier.
11. Enjoy or store in an airtight container.
12. Keep in a cool, dry place. Use within 2-3 days at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to a week.
