BBQ Beef Jerky

Directions

1. Slice beef against the grain into 0.5 cm thick pieces and place in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine all remaining ingredients to make the marinade. Mix well.
2. Add marinade to bowl with meat, mixing to incorporate. Cover and place in the fridge overnight or for up to 24 hours.
3. To prepare using a DEHYDRATOR: Lay meat slices on the racks (do not overlap slices). Set the temperature to 74°C and dehydrate for 5 to 8 hours, until dehydrated and your desired texture is reached. Check for doneness after 4 hours.
   To prepare using the OVEN: Lay the meat slices on a rack placed on top of a baking tray (do not overlap slices). Set oven to 93°C and dehydrate for 3 to 8 hours, until dehydrated and your desired texture is reached. Crack oven door with a wooden spoon for better air circulation. Check for doneness after 3 hours.
4. Remove jerky from the dehydrator or the oven. Allow the jerky to cool for 30 minutes and enjoy! Store leftover jerky in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
