Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat beef dry with paper towels. Slice against the grain into strips about 1/4-inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk fish sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Add beef strips to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat oven to 175°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange marinated beef strips in a single layer on the baking sheets, not overlapping.

  6. Step 6

    Roast for 3 to 4 hours, stirring and rotating sheets halfway through, until strips are dry and chewy but still pliable.

  7. Step 7

    Cool on the baking sheets for 15 minutes, then transfer to an airtight container. Store up to 1 week.
