Homemade Beef Jerky Smoky and Savory Homemade Beef Jerky Ingredients: 2 lbs lean beef (top round or flank steak), thinly sliced 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat) 1 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional for added smoky flavor) Directions: Slice the beef into thin, uniform strips (freeze the meat for 30–60 minutes first to make slicing easier). In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and liquid smoke. Stir to mix well. Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C) and line two baking sheets with foil. Place a wire rack on each sheet. Lay the beef strips in a single layer across the wire racks, leaving space between each piece. Bake for 3–4 hours, flipping once halfway through, until the jerky is dry and firm but still slightly pliable. Let the jerky cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
