      Title: Nua Sawan (Thai Beef Jerky)
 Categories: Jerky, Snacks
      Yield: 1 Serving
 
  2 1/2 lb Top sirloin or top round
      1    Roast
      3 ts Coriander seeds
      1 ts Cumin seeds
  1 1/2 ts Sugar
      4 ts Thai light soy sauce-aew sai
  1 1/2 c  Oil
 
  DIRECTIONS
  
  Slice beef across the grain 2"X 3" in size and 1/4"
  thick. Roast coriander and cumin seeds in a fry pan
  over low heat until fragrant, cool, and grind coarsely
  in a mortar or a spice grinder. Combine beef and the
  rest of the ingredients and marinade 1 hour. Place
  beef pieces on a cake rack sprayed with Pam and put
  the rack in a foil lined cookie sheet large enough to
  catch any liquid dripping from the beef. Place the
  cookie sheet in a lowest setting oven until the beef
  pieces are dry to the touch and no liquid seep out
  when pressed (between 6-12 hours depending on the
  oven). Over medium-low heat, heat the oil in a
  flat-bottomed fry pan and drop the beef in 5-6 pieces
  at a time. Fry until crispy on the outside and around
  the edges. Drain on a cake rack over paper towels.
  Keeps up to 1 week in an airtight container at room
  temperature. Serve alone or with cooked sticky rice.
  
  NOTE: Tenderize beef lightly with a mallet if using
  other cuts of beef. Be sure to drain the oil well. Any
  excess may become rancid. Cool completely before
  storing.
