I like to host guests at my home from time to time, and I am gathering  recipes of different dishes and drinks to keep things interesting. I am interested in trying some Bolivian dishes. Can you give me a recipe for Charque?
user
Sure! The best way to prepare Charque is to grill meat (beef, venison or pork) over open flame, and then scrape the soot off the meat with a knife to form thin strips. When the strips are cooked, they can be eaten alone or with your favorite beverage.

That's an interesting way to make jerky. Wouldn't it be easier to just salt the meat and let it sit and dry out?
user
It's possible to make jerky in this way. But I think the charcoal provides a bit of smoke flavor, and the meat develops a nice color. Plus the scraping part is interesting and provides something to do during mealtime.

̈Not necessarily, if you're talking about a variety of meat. Salt would cause the meat to dry out and would not allow for a flavorful, rich preparation.
