Step 1
Slice the 1 lb beef against the grain into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Season the beef strips with 1 tsp salt, rubbing it in evenly.
Step 3
Place the strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat dry with more paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 200°F (or use a dehydrator). Arrange the strips on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake for 3-4 hours, until the beef is dry and leathery but still slightly pliable. It should bend without breaking.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the dried beef before serving.
