Single Serving: Tapsilog V.2 (Tapa a la Beef Jerky)

This is a series I have thought of starting up for all those single expats here in Qatar. For those who would be cooking for one. I noticed that most of my posts are for family fare and those single expats would not really have the energy or the appetite to prepare for just 1, unless you'd be catering to some friends at home. So all you single ladies and gents out there, no need to order fast food or open a bowl of instant noodles or canned tuna, this are very easy recipes which you could keep in the ref to cook single serving once in a while.
This is home cooked meal for you to remember your moms or wives by. I hope this helps! You could also let me know what you crave for, or what you normally look for as a single serving fare, and I'll try help you with the recipes if I can :)

This is Beef Tapa Version 2, exactly the same marinating ingredients, but this version is made a la beef jerky, sun-dried to give that authentic tapa taste and smell. Personally, I loved it! I tried both versions and I love this one more than the ordinarily marinated and fried meat. This one truly smells and tastes like beef tapa. Of course I'm not sure if most of you would even remember this type of tapa since most of the ones being sold in the supermarkets right now are the marinated, frozen ones. 
See the reason why I thought of sun drying the beef is that for a few days now, I've been very down because of the weather. It feels like this year has been so hot! I believe we have been reaching 47deg. in any ordinary day. So all in all, this had been a setback for me the entire time. I have not been in the mood to do anything, much less do some foodstuff shopping which I normally always enjoy. So I just thought, there may be something I could do to take advantage of this heat. This can't be all that bad. That's when I thought of experimenting on cured fish and meat. The first in the series is tapa and I'm hoping to do some daing and other sun-dried food I'd come across on the net these days. Hopefully be able to put them all in this Single Serving Series :)
Ingredients:
1/5 kg beef (preferably sirloin cut)
4 tbs cooking oil
4 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs oyster sauce
2 tbs cane vinegar
2 tbs seasoning (Knorr or Maggi brand)
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 tsp white pepper
salt as desired 
Method:
Slice into thin strips wash and drain of excess water, pat dry with paper towel.
In a resealable container, combine all other ingredients except the oil and salt.
Toss in the beef strips. Mix with your hands to distribute flavors evenly throughout the beef pieces.
Seal and keep in the refrigerator overnight.
Over low heat, put oil in a skillet and simmer the beef in its marinade for about 15 minutes with no stirring, just ensure that the beef strips are laid on the pan in a single layer. 
When the sauce is about half of its original amount, turn off the heat and transfer beef in a wire rack for sun drying. 
Let cool for half an hour and bring out for sun-drying under direct sunlight until beef is fully dry and a bit hard on the outside, about 15-20 minutes. Check from time to time to ward off anything that may come in contact with the meat.
When fully dry, remove from rack and keep in batches for single serving in  a plastic resealable container or zip-lock bag. This is now ready for frying anytime. In a very small amount of oil, fry both sides for 2-3 minutes just heat the tapa all the way through.
Serve with sinangag, fried egg and a side dish of Tomato and Cucumber Salsa. Enjoy!
