Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the 8 oz dried beef slices dry with paper towels. If they are very thick, gently pound them between two sheets of plastic wrap to about 1/8 inch thickness.

  2. Step 2

    Place the 1/2 cup sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Press each beef slice into the seeds, coating both sides evenly.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the coated beef slices in a single layer, working in batches if needed.

  4. Step 4

    Toast each side for 1-2 minutes until the sesame seeds are golden and fragrant, and the beef is warm and slightly crisp at the edges.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a plate and let cool for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
