Delicious and Long-lasting Wet and Dry Dendeng Recipe

Dream - There are many types of food made from beef such as rawon, steak, rendang, and dendeng. For Dream Friends who want long-lasting beef dishes, dendeng sapi is the answer.

Dendeng sapi is thinly sliced beef seasoned with various spices. Dendeng sapi also has 2 types, wet and dry dendeng sapi.

Dry dendeng sapi has a dry texture, made by thinly slicing and then drying or frying the beef. This dendeng sapi lasts longer because it does not contain much water that bacteria like.

Meanwhile, wet dendeng sapi has a little broth. And of course, its durability is not as long as dry dendeng sapi. Both are equally delicious and can be a choice of beef dishes that are ready to be enjoyed anytime.
