Sei de Boi
Timorese Beef Jerky
Sei de Boi is a popular dried and smoked beef jerky from Timor-Leste, often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. It's typically made with lean cuts of beef, marinated in a flavorful blend of spices, and then air-dried or smoked.
🧂 Ingredientes
- 1 kg Lean beef (e.g., sirloin, round)(sliced thinly against the grain)
- 100 ml Soy sauce
- 5 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1 inch piece Ginger(grated)
- 1 tsp Chili flakes(or to taste)
- 1 tsp Coriander powder
- 0.5 tsp Cumin powder
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili flakes, coriander powder, cumin powder, sugar, salt, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
- 2
Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- 3
Preheat your smoker to a low temperature (around 70-80°C or 160-175°F). If you don't have a smoker, you can use an oven on its lowest setting with the door slightly ajar, or an outdoor grill set up for indirect heat.
- 4
Arrange the marinated beef slices in a single layer on the smoker racks or baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.
- 5
Smoke or dry the beef for 2-3 hours, or until it is dry to the touch and leathery but still pliable. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the slices and the drying method used.

Once dried, let the sei de boi cool completely. It can be eaten immediately or stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or refrigerated for longer storage.
