Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams of beef (preferably lean)
  • 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder (optional)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying) 

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing the beef thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities.
  • Cut the beef into thin, long strips. You can remove any excess fat if desired.
  • Season the beef strips with salt, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can adjust the amount of seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  • Place the seasoned beef strips on a drying rack or hang them in a well-ventilated area. Allow them to dry for several hours or until they become dry and crispy. This drying process can take a day or two, depending on the weather conditions.
  • Once the beef strips are completely dried, heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer.
  • Fry the dried beef strips in the hot oil until they become golden brown and crispy. Make sure to fry them in small batches to ensure even cooking.
  • Remove the fried beef strips from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  • Allow the dambu nama to cool down completely before serving.
