Method
- In a large zip top bag, combine all of the marinade ingredients and shake or stir until everything has blended together.
- Add the prepared meat strips to the marinade in the bag and push the strips around to coat. This will ensure that all of the meat gets flavored.
- Place the zip top bag into the refrigerator and marinate for at least 12 hours, flipping the bag occasionally and massaging the marinade into the meat.
- Remove the meat from the marinade and lay the strips out onto a double layer of paper towels. Use additional paper towels to blot off excess marinade from the tops of the strips.
- Lay the marinated jerky strips out out on dehydrator trays, leaving space between for air flow. Use as many trays as necessary.
- Choose the highest temperature setting on the dehydrator (typically 160 degrees). Begin checking the jerky strips after 60-90 minutes. Flip the jerky strips and rotate trays during the dehydration process. The jerky will become less spongy but remain pliable and it will develop a dry, leathery appearance.
- Once sufficiently dried, remove to a resealable container or large zip top bag and allow to cool before sealing.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool place (or refrigerator) for up to a month. Enjoy!
