INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 pounds beef round steak
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  2. 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.
