According to some elders, this food is based on making of dried deer in some decades ago. The number of deer went down rapidly due to poaching. Therefore, people use beef to replace the deer. Surprisingly, the taste and flavor of dried beef is very yummy, so it quickly has become the specialty food of Sơn Hòa plateau.

To make this Best Vietnamese Food, the makers have to collect the baby cow which is fed naturally on the plateau. There are only two parts of the cow can make this delicious food. They are ham and loin. The meat is processed carefully before slicing into part. Next they are salted, sugared, chilled and then dry in the sun. If the weather is in good condition, they are dried in just one day. If not, people will dry them on the hot pot. The quality of this food depends mostly on the weather. The day which has fully sun shine is the best condition to dry them.
