How To Make sweet and spicy beef jerky

• 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!
• 2

  Mix all of the ingredients into a large bowl (minus the steak) and whisk to combine
• 
  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
• 
  4

  Marinate at least a couple of hours but preferably overnight for best flavor
• 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)
• 
  6

  Align strips of steak onto the racks In your dehydrator
• 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!
•
