Best 3 Flank Steak Beef Jerky Recipes

BEEF JERKY

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.

Steps:

• 2. Cover and place in freezer for about an hour.

• 7. Place meat into the 200* preheated oven. Prop door open slightly to allow excess heat and moisture to escape. This will allow a more even drying process.
• 8. Dry about 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours or until very dry and chewy. Meat should be very dry but soft.
• 9. Remove from oven, set aside and allow to cool before storing in a container or another zip baggie.
