Time 18h

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 Tbsp ketchup
3 Tbsp brown sugar, lightly packed
1/8 or 1/4 tsp red pepper
1-2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 lb beef top round steak, boneless
4 Tbsp soy sauce, low sodium
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 onion powder
1/4-1/2 tsp liquid smoke flavoring

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the steak into the desired thickness (roughly 1/8 inch) I buy the top round that is already thin sliced so it saves me a step!
  • 2. Mix all of the ingredients into a large bowl (minus the steak) and whisk to combine
  • 3. Transfer the strips of steak along with the marinade into a ziplock bag and squeeze out as much air as possible. Massage to combine the marinade into the meat. If you don't have a ziplock, use a large bowl tightly wrapped with cling wrap or foil
  • 4. Marinate at least a couple of hours but preferably overnight for best flavor
  • 5. When you're ready to dehydrate, take steak out of the bag or bowl, pat it dry (I use hand towels for better absorption and simply wash them after)
  • 6. Align strips of steak onto the racks In your dehydrator
  • 7. Cook for roughly 6 hours at 160 degrees (Longer time will be needed for thicker sliced steak) there's no need to flip your steak!
  • 8. When it's done your jerky should be dry and a little chewy and perfect! It should look something like this

I made this jerky with half the amount of cayenne pepper and it was still plenty spicy for me. It's a great recipe for those who don't like things too spicy.
