Best Ever Beef Jerky

Ingredients

• 3 teaspoons salt
• 9 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 3 teaspoons dry mustard
• 1 cup red wine vinegar
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
• 3 lbs london broil beef or flank steaks, sliced into very thin strips

Directions

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients (except the meat) until combined.

2. 2

   Add meat that has been thinly sliced (the meat is easier to slice when its half frozen) and marinade 24-48 hours, refrigerated.

3. 3

   Remove from marinade, disguarding excess.

4. 4

   Place onto food dehydrator trays, you'll know its done when it cracks when bent but does not break.

5. 5

   I have never "over dehydrated" my jerky, I always feel its better over dried than under dried. Mine usually takes about a day and a half to be fully done. Rotate trays for even dehydration.
