Matt's Jerky Recipe

A flavorful beef jerky recipe that requires marinating and dehydrating the beef.

Ingredients

  • beef top round (1361 grams)
  • soy sauce (158 milliliters)
  • Worcestershire sauce (59 milliliters)
  • brown sugar (15 grams)
  • liquid smoke flavoring (10 milliliters)
  • onion powder (4 grams)
  • chili powder (4 grams)
  • garlic powder (4 grams)
  • cayenne pepper (4 grams)
  • finely ground black pepper (4 grams)

Instructions

  1. Freeze beef about 20 minutes to make it easier to slice. Slice beef, against the grain, into strips about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. Whisk soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, liquid smoke, onion powder, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Add beef strips; toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, stirring at least twice, for 18 to 24 hours.
  3. Preheat a dehydrator to 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Remove beef strips from marinade and shake off excess; arrange on dehydrator trays. Discard remaining marinade. Dehydrate beef strips until dried, about 8 hours.
