Bimini Bread

"Beef Jerky" is more common in South Africa but still a part of the East African diet. It is generally made from beef, but other game is used when available. Cut strips of meat following the grain of muscle. Make strips 2 inches wide and 1 inch thick. Best made during cool dry weather if possible.

Salt the meat by rubbing the mixture in well and leave in the basin of salt mixture overnight. Dip a cloth in vinegar, wring dry and whip the meat well.

Hang the strips of meat in a cool, dry, well ventilated place until dry.

You can also hang the meat on an oven rack placed in the top slot of the oven. Dry the meat on low heat.
