Dried Beef Tapa Recipe

A whole week has passed and I still owe you that Beef Tapa recipe . So here it is , I hope your family will enjoy it as much as mine does .
You will need the following :
- 2 kilos Beef ( preferably sukiyaki cut since it is already thin , no pounding necessary . I usually get it from our local meat shop already packed by 500 gms . more or less ) .
- 1/2 cup soy sauce .
- 2 heads of garlic ( pounded )
- 1 Tbsp. peppercorns
Crispy tapa served with atchara .
If you can find sukiyaki or tapa cut beef then you can proceed to marinating it. If not , try to get the thinnest beef possible and pound it until it becomes around 2 cm. thin  ( if you can manage to make it thinner than that , better ). Mix the beef with the soysauce , garlic and peppercorns and marinate it overnight . Arrange the beef in a cookie sheet or tray, place it in an elevated area outdoors unreachable by pets or other animals  and let it dry under the sun . Make sure to turn the beef and let the other side dry as well . it usually takes one whole day to completely dry the beef. When the beef is ready, fry it until crispy .
