How it is used
Beef lightly salted and air/sun-dried so it keeps without refrigeration — a staple of Northeastern cooking, typically served with macaxeira, farofa or manteiga de garrafa. Aulete gives 'carne de vento' and 'carne de sertão' as synonyms.
Examples
Carne de sol com macaxeira é clássico.
Sun-dried beef with cassava is a classic.
