Ralphs Very Good Jerky Recipes

MOST AMAZING BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• In a large bowl or ziplock bag, stir together soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, liquid smoke, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
• Place sliced beef into the bowl and make sure all of the pieces are covered in the marinade. Cover or seal tightly. Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours, up to 36 hours total.
• Remove from marinade and pat dry. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Evenly distribute the meat onto dehydrator racks and let the meat dehydrate on a low heat setting. Dehydrate for 8-12 hours, or according to your dehydrator instructions. May need to rotate occasionally.
• To check doneness, you want a slight bend to the jerky, but not any remaining juice, approximately 4-6 hours. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
