Properly dried beef lasts up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 1 month or freeze for 3 months.
Absolutely! Try coconut aminos or a reduced-sodium soy sauce. You can also add liquid smoke or Worcestershire sauce for depth without excess salt.
For a plant-based version, use thin slices of king oyster mushrooms or tofu pressed and sliced very thinly. Marinate and dry similarly, adjusting time as needed.
Enjoy it as a snack with cheese and crackers, add to salads for protein, or use in wraps. Pair with spicy mayo, sweet chili sauce, or honey mustard for dipping.
