Instructions
- Slice lean beef into thin strips about 0.5 cm thick against the grain for tenderness.
- In a bowl, combine low sodium soy sauce, raw honey, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, minced garlic clove, ground black pepper, and onion powder to create the marinade.
- Place the beef strips into the marinade and mix well to coat all pieces evenly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 70 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Fahrenheit) and line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
- Arrange the marinated beef strips in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and dry the beef strips for 4 to 6 hours until the jerky is dry but still slightly pliable.
- Remove the jerky from the oven and let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Tips
- Use lean beef cuts to reduce fat content and improve drying.
