This savory homemade beef jerky recipe is perfect for a flavorful and protein-packed snack.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, onion powder, smoked paprika, and brown sugar.
Mix the marinade thoroughly to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.
Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, against the grain for a tender texture.
Partially freeze the beef for easier slicing.
Place the beef strips into a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Massage the bag occasionally to ensure the beef is evenly coated.
Remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
Drying the beef helps it dehydrate more efficiently.
Arrange the beef strips in a single layer on the dehydrator trays, ensuring they do not overlap.
Leave space between the strips for proper air circulation.
Dehydrate the beef at 160°F (70°C) for 4-6 hours, or until the jerky is dry and pliable.
Check the jerky periodically to avoid over-drying.
Let the jerky cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
Cooling prevents condensation in the storage container.
