I am a beef jerky lover. I noticed that Recipezaar does not have too many choices and when I look for ones using Google, it is overwhelming to find one out of millions. So I decided to create my own and let me tell youthis is the best jerky I have ever had and am glad Beef jerky recipe dehydrator can share it with all of you.

Plus, this was made in a conventional oven! Please let me know your thoughts by commenting after you make it. Flash freeze beef for 20 minutes on cookie sheet during ingredient mixture. Mix ingredients in extra large bowl with whisk until completely blended. If beef is more than one inch thick, slice across to create equal thickness. 4 inch thick slices, in addition to trimming as much fat off the meat as possible. Incorporate beef into ingredients to cover.

Pat dry beef slices and skewer beef onto bamboo, ensuring small space between slices for thorough dryness and leaving one inch on each end. Hang beef skewers across oven rack so beef hangs freely. Cover entire oven rack with skewers of meat. 2 at very bottom of oven to help catch drippings.

Check beef a few times throughout to ensure it is not actually baking, but simply drying out. Let beef skewers rest for 10 minutes after drying, and then remove skewers from oven rack and let sit on tray until cool. Remove beef strips from skewers and store them in an airtight container. What if I want jerkey that is a little on the tender side? Wondering if this should have curing salt in it?
