Cut the meat into very thin slices or have it sliced. Mix the ingredients for the marinade. Then place the meat in the marinade. I personally leave it in the marinade for at least one night. Then place it in the dehydrator and let it dry according to the device’s instructions. Check occasionally how dry the slices are (dehydrators can be bought almost anywhere; they’re the ones sold in Germany for making dried fruit). Alternatively, you can dry them in the oven on a rack at 80°C. It takes between 8 and 12 hours for both devices, depending on the thickness of the meat slices. I got this recipe from a local during my stay in Canada. The ingredients are for the marinade for 500 grams of meat. For larger quantities, simply multiply the ingredients. The liquid smoke (which gives that wonderful smoky aroma) can be purchased online. Simply ingenious and delicious – the meat will then keep for over a year – that’s just how the Indians did it – without a refrigerator.
