Beef Jerky

Decided to take a shot at home made beef jerky. A friend offered to lend me his food dehydrator for the weekend so after a little research for a good recipe to start with I picked up what we needed to make it on the way home Friday from work.

The base recipe came from here... http://www.marksdailyapple.com/how-to-make-your-own-jerky/

What you need:
2lbs Flank Steak (thats the cut we chose to use)
¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. liquid smoke
3 minced or crushed garlic cloves
2 ½ tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. hot chili powder
½-1 tsp. each of salt and black pepper
1 tsp cayenne (we added this)

What you do:
- Cut the flank steak into strips
- Mix all the ingredients together
- Pour marinade into a zip lock bag and add meat
- Let marinate for 1 hour

- Lay each strip of jerky it food dehydrator and turn that baby on!
- Enjoy the glorious smell that fills your house for the next 10-12 hours
