Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced London broil, jerky seasoning, 2 tablespoons of cure, and 2 teaspoons of cure. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Massage the beef mixture thoroughly with your hands until the seasonings and cure are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
12 hrs

Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cure to penetrate the meat. (Marinating time: 8-12 hours)

04

Step
10 mins

Preheat your air fryer oven to 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). (Prep time: 10 minutes)

05

Step
15 mins

Arrange the beef slices in a single layer on the air fryer rack, ensuring that none of the pieces overlap to promote even drying. You may need to work in batches. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

06

Step
3 hrs

Air fry the beef for 3 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of dryness. Check the jerky periodically. (Cook time: 3 hours)

07

Step
1 hrs

Once the jerky is done, turn off the air fryer and open the door slightly. Allow the beef to sit inside for 1 hour for final drying and cooling. This step helps to further reduce moisture and enhance the jerky's texture. (Cooling time: 1 hour)

08

Step

Transfer the cooled jerky to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place. For optimal freshness, refrigerate any jerky that will not be consumed within 3 days.

For easier slicing, freeze the London broil for about an hour before cutting it into thin strips. This will firm up the meat and make it easier to achieve uniform slices.
Adjust the air frying time according to the thickness of your beef slices and your desired level of dryness. Thicker slices will require longer cooking times.
Feel free to experiment with different jerky seasonings to customize the flavor profile. Consider adding a touch of smoked paprika, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes for extra depth.

    This recipe is so easy to follow! I love that I can make jerky at home without a dehydrator.

  • Rachelle Rodriguez

    Great recipe! Freezing the meat beforehand was a lifesaver for slicing.

  • Jordi Pouros

    The flavor is amazing! The refrigeration step really makes a difference. I added a little cayenne pepper for some heat.
