The Most Amazing Beef Jerky is so easy to make and produces the most delicious beef jerky ever. We’ve included instructions for the dehydrator, smoker, and oven!
In a large bowl or ziplock bag, stir together soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, liquid smoke, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Place sliced beef into the bowl and make sure all of the pieces are covered in the marinade. Cover or seal tightly. Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours, up to 36 hours total.
Remove from marinade and pat dry. Discard any remaining marinade.
Evenly distribute the meat onto dehydrator racks and let the meat dehydrate on a low heat setting. Dehydrate for 8-12 hours, or according to your dehydrator instructions. May need to rotate occasionally.
To check doneness, you want a slight bend to the jerky, but not any remaining juice, approximately 4-6 hours. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
