How To Make sweet and spicy beef jerky

• Step 1
  Cut the steak into the desired thickness (roughly 1/8 inch) I buy the top round that is already thin sliced so it saves me a step!
• Step 2
  Mix all of the ingredients into a large bowl (minus the steak) and whisk to combine
• 
  Step 3
  Transfer the strips of steak along with the marinade into a ziplock bag and squeeze out as much air as possible. Massage to combine the marinade into the meat. If you don’t have a ziplock, use a large bowl tightly wrapped with cling wrap or foil
• 
  Step 4
  Marinate at least a couple of hours but preferably overnight for best flavor
• Step 5
  When you’re ready to dehydrate, take steak out of the bag or bowl, pat it dry (I use hand towels for better absorption and simply wash them after)
• 
  Step 6
  Align strips of steak onto the racks In your dehydrator
• Step 7
  Cook for roughly 6 hours at 160 degrees (Longer time will be needed for thicker sliced steak) there’s no need to flip your steak!
• 
  Step 8
  When it’s done your jerky should be dry and a little chewy and perfect! It should look something like this
