I was a little concerned when I saw the ingredients in the organic store-bought beef jerky we occasionally buy for the boys, so I decided to try and make my own.
Here is our easy beef jerky recipe:
Ingredients
- 4 lbs round roast cut into ⅛-1/4 strips (but no larger)
- 1 garlic head, minced
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon freshly sliced ginger
- 1 cup soy sauce
- ¾ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground red pepper
Instructions
- Mix garlic, onion ginger, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, salt, and ground pepper in a medium sized bowl.
- Add meat strips to the marinade.
- Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1-24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 150 degrees.
- Line bottom rack with foil.
- Place strips of meat directly on the top oven rack, so drippings will be caught by bottom foil.
- Let cook for 4-7 hours.
- When cooked to desired consistency remove and let cool.
- Place in an airtight container.
- Enjoy!
