Ingredients
- 2 lbs (900g) Lean beef (eye of round or top round)
- 1/3 cup Soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Onion powder
- 1 tbsp Black pepper, coarse
- 1 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Liquid smoke
Method
- Freeze beef 1-2 hours until firm. Slice against the grain into 1/8-inch strips.
- Whisk all marinade ingredients in a large bowl or zip-top bag.
- Add beef strips, toss to coat, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 175°F (80°C) or use a dehydrator at 160°F (70°C).
- Pat strips dry. Arrange on wire racks set over baking sheets so air circulates.
- Dehydrate 4-6 hours, flipping halfway, until dry but still pliable.
- Cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks (refrigerate longer).
