dried beef
Preserved cattle flesh
Dried beef is beef that has been cured with salt and then dried, resulting in a shelf-stable, intensely flavored meat.
It is typically sliced very thin and has a chewy, slightly leathery texture.
In American cooking, dried beef appears in dishes like creamed chipped beef on toast, sometimes called SOS by military veterans.
It can be eaten as-is for a salty snack or rehydrated in cooking.
