| 1. Cut steak lengthwise, with grain, in strips 1-2 inches wide and 4-5 inches long. | 2. Combine lemongrass, chili peppers, garlic, parsley roots, shallots and ginger into a mortar or food processor and grind together, until well mixed. | 3. Add mixture from last step to a gallon sized zip top freezer bag and add fish sauce, sugar and kaffir lime leaves -- stir to mix in new ingredients. | 4. Add beef strips and mix well to coat (don't be afraid to get your hands dirty, reach into that bag, it'll be worth it). | 5. Refrigerate bagged beef mixture overnight. | 6. Lay beef strips out on a large cookie sheet and heat in the oven on the lowest setting for 5-7 hours, until dried (historically in Thailand, this step was the sun-drying step). | 7. The dried beef can either be deep fried immediately for a couple minutes to give it a crispy outside (careful not to crowd the oil), or you could refrigerate a portion for frying later that week. | 8. Serve hot with Sriracha sauce and sticky rice, or steamed jasmine rice. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
