SWEET BEEF JERKY RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Whisk Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, paprika, honey, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a bowl. Add beef to bowl and turn to coat beef completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 3 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over the foil.
• Transfer beef to paper towels to dry. Discard marinade. Arrange beef slices in a single layer on the prepared wire rack on the baking sheet.
• Bake beef in the preheated oven until dry and leathery, 3 to 4 hours. Cut with scissors into bite-size pieces.

Steps:

• Place meat in a zip-top bag and freeze for 1-2 hours to firm up the meat for cutting.
• Slice the meat against the grain into 1/8 inch - 1/4 inch strips.
• Mix remaining ingredients in a zip-top bag, then add steak and coat well. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3-6 hours.
• Remove the meat and pat dry. Divide the steak strips onto the cooking trays in an even layer.
• Place the drip pan in the bottom of the cooking chamber and insert one cooking tray in the top-most position and one tray in the middle position.
• Using the display panel, select DEHYDRATE, then adjust the temperature to 160 degrees and the time to 3 hours, then touch START.
• At 1.5 hours, switch the trays.
• When the Dehydrate program is nearly complete, test a piece of jerky by bending it at a 90-degree angle.
• If any moisture seeps out, return for an additional 20-30 minutes. If it bends, but there is no moisture seepage, it is done. If it cracks and breaks, it is overdone.
