Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef such as top round or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Beef: Slice the beef into thin strips. Partially freezing the meat can make this easier.
- Combine Marinade Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Marinate Beef: Place the beef strips in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Oven Preparation: Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
- Arrange Beef Strips: Lay the marinated beef strips on the wire rack, ensuring they don't overlap.
- Bake: Bake for 3 to 4 hours, or until the jerky is dry and firm but still pliable.
- Cool and Store: Let the jerky cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
