Trim and discard all fat from meat. Cut meat into 5-in. x 1/2-in. strips. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the remaining ingredients; add meat. Seal bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Place wire racks on foil-lined baking sheets. Drain and discard marinade. Place meat strips 1/4 in. apart on racks. Bake, uncovered, at 200 degrees F for 6-7 hours or until meat is dry and leathery. Remove from the oven; cool completely. Refrigerate or freeze in an airtight container.

Just a quick note...I used to make jerky for a local grocery store...you do not have to bake it that long. Try it again at 200 degrees and stick a wooden spoon in the oven door so that is cracked a tad. Bake it for about 1 1/2 hours. According to what I see, the ingredients should make this recipe taste great...trust me and try it again.

These came out tooooooo dry. I know that jerky is supposed to be dry but it was more than dry. My cousin made the joke that he chipped a tooth on it. I would NOT make this again. Not trying to be mean but for the first time ever making jerky this was discouraging.
