Beef Jerky- oven baked

This beef jerky recipe was shared by Tom Cantwell. Tom dries the jerky in the oven, so this recipe does not require any special equipment. For a lean jerky, make this with Snug Valley Farm's grass-fed round or flank steak.

Yields1 Serving
Prep Time10 minsCook Time4 hrsTotal Time4 hrs 10 mins
 4 tbsp Soy Sauce
 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
 1 tbsp Ketchup
 ¼ tsp Black Pepper (use more pepper for hotter jerky)
 ¼ tsp Garlic powder
 ¼ tsp Onion salt
 ½ tsp Salt
1

Remove fat from the meat and place in a freezer. When semi-frozen, it is easily cut into ⅜ or ¼ inch strips (the thinner the slices, the faster the drying). Note: meat cut with the grain will be chewy, against the grain, tender.

2

Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add the meat and marinate for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

3

Remove from refrigerator and drain in a colander. Place meat on cookie sheets to dry. For faster drying, do not overlap meat and turn at least once during drying.

4

Dry in 200 degree oven for 4 hours on cookie sheets. It is ready when it bends like a green willow without breaking.

5

Refrigerate for long term storage.
