Best Beef Jerky Recipe - Quick, Healthy & Ready in 45 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 lbs lean beef brisket
• ¾ cup soy sauce
• ¾ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1½ cups thick, flavorful teriyaki sauce
• ¼ cup liquid smoke
• ¼ cup Karo dark corn syrup
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions:

1. Take the lean beef brisket and put the meat in the freezer for an hour to make slicing easier. Then, slice meat with the grain as thin as possible (around a ). You can always have your butcher (or grocery meat department) cut the strips for you instead.
2. Place beef strips in the bottom of a large bowl or container.
3. Pour the rest of the ingredients over the beef.
4. Mix well, so all the meat is evenly coated and submerged. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
5. Remove meat and pat dry (use paper towels).
6. Place the meat in a single layer on the trays of your dehydrator machine. Then follow the dehydrators instructions to cook the beef jerky until it is dry and firm, yet still a little bit pliable. (With my dehydrator, that meant cooking the jerky at 155F for about 5 hours. But cooking times will vary based on the heat/brand of your dehydrator.)
7. Leave meat out in the air to cool. The longer you leave it out to cool, the drier it will get. Once dry, store in a cool dry place, in an airtight container for 2 to 3 months.
