Beef Jerky
Ingredients
| 3 | lb top round London Broil trimmed of fat |
| 3 | tsp salt |
| 2 | tsp coarsely-ground black pepper |
| 1 | tsp garlic powder |
Directions
- The beef should be quite lean, because fat can become rancid with storage. Cut meat across the grain into strips a little less than 1/4-inch thick. Place strips in a shallow bowl. Combine salt, pepper, and garlic pwdr in a small bowl. Rub spice mix into strips. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and marinate for 48 hrs in the refrigerator.
- Remove a rack from the oven. Preheat the oven to 115 degrees. Lay beef strips directly on the oven rack so air can circulate around them. Line the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil to catch the drippings. Place the rack in the oven, leaving it partially open to maintain a constant temperature of 110 to 115 degrees. Leave jerky in the oven till well dry, 6 to 8 hrs.
