Instructions

Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
Slice beef.
Combine all of the ingredients in a large airtight container.
Allow the sliced beef to soak for at least 24 hours.
Place strips in a single layer on the racks of the dehydrator and dry at 160 degrees Fahrenheit until the jerky is pliable, but not brittle.
Check on the jerky every 2 hours or so and rotate racks if needed. Smaller pieces and thinner pieces will finish faster and should be removed as they reach the desired consistency. Letting them on too long will cause them to become too dry and brittle.
Serve or store in an air tight container.
Enjoy every bite!

Notes

Dehydrating times will vary depending on the type of dehydrator used. Ours is a forced air dehydrator.

How do I store the Beef Jerky?

You can store the jerky in an airtight container at room temperature for weeks, however, if not all of the moisture has been removed from the jerky during the dehydrating process, the jerky can get moldy before then. You can also store the jerky in the fridge and it will easily last months.

Can I eat these warm or cold?

Either! We love them fresh out of the dehydrator (because, who can resist) and they are just as good after they’ve cooled down to room temperature.
