Spicy Beef Jerky
Ingredients:
1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons hot sauce (your favorite brand)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
Directions:
Begin by slicing the beef thinly against the grain. It’s best to slightly freeze the beef for about 1 hour to make slicing easier.
In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, and sesame oil.
Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 170°F (75°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and place a cooling rack on top.
Arrange the marinated beef slices in a single layer on the cooling rack.
Bake for 4-6 hours, or until the beef jerky is dry and chewy but not brittle. Flip the jerky halfway through the cooking time to ensure even drying.
Once done, remove the jerky from the oven and let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
