Here’s a sneak peek into my go-to homemade beef jerky recipe:
Ingredients: lean beef, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, smoked paprika
Preparation: Marinate the beef slices for at least 4 hours, then dehydrate in an oven or dehydrator at 160°F for 4-6 hours until dry and chewy.
Tip: Slice the beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness or with the grain for a chewier bite.
