Beef Jerky

We made 2 four pound batches of jerky in the oven.  I still haven't used the smoker.  Husband and the Bigs were happy with both, although I think they like the first one better.

 Ingredients #1

4 pounds beef flank, cut into thin strips
 1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp molasses
 2 tsp salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
 

 Ingredients #2

4 lbs beef flank, cut into thin strips
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions are the same for both:

Trim all fat off the meat and cut into thin strips.

Mix all ingredients. Pour over beef strips in a large bowl. Mix until all of the meat is evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

Lay out beef strips on rack.  Place in oven.  Bake @ 180°F, or lowest setting, 6 hours.
