Homemade Beef Jerky

Total Time: 11 hrs Preparation Time: 4 hrs Cook Time: 7 hrs

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless round steak (i like a little bit of fat but definitely not too much) or 1 lb flank steak (i like a little bit of fat but definitely not too much)
• 3/4 tablespoon liquid smoke
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 2/3 teaspoon pepper (more pepper for hotter jerky)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion salt
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 cut the meat to the thickness desired (i prefer just under 1/4 inch. saturate the meat for at least 2 - 24 hours in the marinade and place it on your dehydrator. after about 3-4 hours rotate the beef jerky. when the meat bends like a willow tree it is probably about ready. (usually 6-8 hours in a dehydrator).
