Beef Jerky Recipes

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pound meat
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire

Directions:

Meat can be dried without seasoning. Or it can be marinated overnight. Combine pepper, onion, garlic, salt, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Place marinade in Ziploc plastic bag. Slice lean boneless beef (such as brisket) into 1/8″ strips, trimming fat. Cut with the grain for chewy jerky or across the grain for crumbly jerky.

Add meat to bag of marinade and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally. Lay strips on oven rack (use foil or pan underneath to catch drippings). Salt to taste. Dry in oven at lowest temperature (150 degrees), leaving door slightly ajar, for 8-12 hours. Turn several times for even drying. Taste test occasionally.
