Steps:
- Trim all visible fat from the beef and place in freezer for an hour or two to partially freeze.
- While the meat is in the freezer, combine marinade ingredients in a blender and blend until the peppers have been chopped into very small pieces. Place in a bowl or ziplock bag.
- Remove the meat from the freezer and slice ¼" strips against the grain for an easy chew. Cut with the grain for a more chewy jerky.
- Add sliced beef to the mixture in the ziplock bag or bowl and marinate for 8-24 hours in the refrigerator.
- After the meat has finished marinating, remove from refrigerator and strain excess marinade in a colander and pat dry with paper towels.
- Load dehydrator trays with jerky strips leaving room for air to circulate I used my Excalibur Dehydrator and dried for 3 hours at 165°F and 1 hour at 145°F
- The jerky is finished when it bends and cracks, but does not break in half.

Steps:
- Trim the flank steak of any excess fat, place in a zip-top bag, and place it in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours in order to firm up.
- Remove the steak from the freezer and thinly slice the meat with the grain, into long strips.
- Place the strips of meat along with all of the remaining ingredients into a large, 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and move around to evenly distribute all of the ingredients. Place the bag into the refrigerator for 3 to 6 hours.
- Remove the meat from the brine and pat dry. Evenly distribute the strips of meat onto 3 of the air filters, laying them in the grooves and then stacking the filters on top of one another. Top these with 1 empty filter. Next, lay the box fan on its side and lay the filters on top of it. Strap the filters to the fan with 2 bungee cords. Stand the fan upright, plug in and set to medium. Allow the meat dry for 8 to 12 hours. If using a commercial dehydrator, follow the manufacturer's directions.
- Once dry, store in a cool dry place, in an airtight container for 2 to 3 months.
DOC'S BEST BEEF JERKY
I have been making jerky for years. This is my recipe concocted by trial and error. Everyone who has tried it says it is the 'best jerky' they have ever had! My dehydrator is designed for jerky. It takes me about 4 hours to dry the meat. This could also be done in the oven or using other dehydrators. Please check your manual for correct times as each machine is different. I hope you enjoy this jerky as much as me and my family do.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients (except the meat) until combined.
- Add meat that has been thinly sliced (the meat is easier to slice when its half frozen) and marinade 24-48 hours, refrigerated.
- Remove from marinade, disguarding excess.
- Place onto food dehydrator trays, you'll know its done when it cracks when bent but does not break.
- I have never "over dehydrated" my jerky, I always feel its better over dried than under dried. Mine usually takes about a day and a half to be fully done. Rotate trays for even dehydration.
Tips:
- Choose lean beef cuts with little marbling, such as flank steak, top round, or eye of round.
- Slice the beef against the grain for more tender jerky.
- Marinate the beef for at least 6 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Use a combination of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper for a classic jerky marinade.
- Dehydrate the beef in a food dehydrator or oven at 145°F (63°C) for 4-8 hours, or until it reaches your desired texture.
- Let the jerky cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
Conclusion:
Homemade beef jerky is a delicious and healthy snack that is easy to make. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create your own custom-flavored jerky that is sure to satisfy your cravings. Experiment with different marinades and seasonings to find your favorite combination. Once you've mastered the basics, you can get creative and add your own unique touches to this classic snack.
