Beef jerky
Beef jerky is a delicious and convenient snack made from lean strips of beef that have been marinated and dried. It’s a great source of protein and perfect for on-the-go snacking or as a tasty addition to your meals.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean beef (such as flank steak or sirloin)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- red pepper flakes for heat, optional
Instructions
- Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Place the beef strips in a ziplock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure all the strips are coated evenly. Marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C) or use a food dehydrator if you have one.
- Arrange the marinated beef strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or on the dehydrator trays.
- Bake or dehydrate the beef for 3-4 hours, or until it is dried out and chewy. Keep an eye on it and rotate the trays if needed.
- Once the beef jerky is done, let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Enjoy your homemade beef jerky as a tasty snack!

Notes
The cook time can vary depending on the method you use. If you’re using an oven, it can take anywhere from 3-4 hours to dehydrate the beef jerky at a low temperature (around 175°F or 80°C). If you have a food dehydrator, the cook time may be slightly faster, around 2-3 hours.
