📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cut off any excess fat on the slab of beef. Slice the beef into 1/8th inch slices, against the grain. Place in a large gallon zip bag.
2
Add all remaining ingredients to the bag. Zip and massage to mix well. Chill for at least ⏱️ 45 minutes, but up to ⏱️ 24 hours.
3
Preheat oven to 175ºF. Line 3 large rimmed baking sheets with foil. Place a metal rack over the foil on each pan.
4
Lay the beef in a single layer across the racks. Bake for 3 to ⏱️ 4 hours, checking at the 3-hour mark for texture. Let a tester piece cool, then tug and taste. If it’s perfect take all the beef jerky out of the oven. (Bake 2–⏱️ 3 hours in a convection oven.)
5
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.
