Homemade Beef Jerky

Recipe View In a large bowl, whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, smoked paprika, honey, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Add the thinly sliced beef to the bowl, ensuring each piece is fully coated in the marinade. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld deeply into the meat. (3 hours to overnight)

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will allow for proper air circulation around the beef. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the beef from the marinade and gently pat dry with paper towels. Discard the used marinade. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Arrange the beef slices in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, making sure the pieces are not overlapping. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 3 to 4 hours, or until the jerky reaches your desired level of dryness and leathery texture. (3-4 hours)

Recipe View Once cooled slightly, cut the jerky into bite-sized pieces using scissors or a sharp knife. (10 minutes)
