Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Grassfed Beef (such As London Broil, Top Round, Flank Or Sirloin)
  • 1/4 cups Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/4 cups Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cups Coconut Aminos
  • 1/4 cups Brown Mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons Fish Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Liquid Smoke
  • 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Onion Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt

Method

  • Place your beef in the freezer for about 90 minutes and then cut it into 1/4 inch thick strips going against the grain.
  • Mix all of the remaining ingredients together in a bowl to make the marinade.
  • Add the meat to the bowl and mix well to cover everything completely with the marinade.
  • Place in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours stirring a few times to get every strip coated.
  • Heat your oven or smoker to 150 F. If using an oven, line the bottom with aluminum foil.
  • Lay your beef strips down flat directly on the oven racks or smoker grill.
  • You want to spread the strips out evenly and flat so they dry out evenly.
  • If using an oven, prop the door open with a wooden spoon or other device while cooking for air circulation.
  • At 1/4 inch thickness, it will take 7-8 hours total to dry out your jerky at around 150 F. Total cooking time depends a lot on the size and thickness of your strips so adjust accordingly and check it after about 4 hours to see how things are looking.
  • Your jerky will be done when it is dry enough that you can rip off a piece easily but not so dry that it snaps when you bend it.
