Method

  1. 1 Soak the shredded dried beef in warm water for 25 minutes, then drain and shred it further.
  2. 2 Soaking in warm water is mandatory; if beef jerky isn't soaked, it will be tough like string and extremely salty.
  3. 3 Sauté the onions with the garlic, then add the bell peppers and green beans and stir-fry for 4 minutes.
  4. 4 Add the dried beef and stir-fry for 4 minutes until the meat strips absorb the oil and are slightly browned.
  5. 5 Add the chopped tomatoes and jalapeño, then stir for 4 minutes until the liquid evaporates.
  6. 6 This version has more vegetables and no eggs, which is the difference from the egg-stir-fried version.
