Easy Homemade Beef Jerky
This easy homemade beef jerky is very portable — you can throw a bag in your purse or bag, and then you are never without a healthy snack option. Great for camping, traveling, or for those days when you are out running errands for a while.
Equipment
Ingredients
- Grass-fed beef sliced to your desired thickness (we use Butcher Box meat)
- Apple cider vinegar
- Molasses
- Worcestershire sauce
- Tamari gluten-free
Instructions
- The amounts are depending on your flavor preference (I would say approximately 1/2 cup ACV, 1/8 cup tamari, and fill in the holes with the rest).
- Make sure your meat is submerged in liquid, if not then add some more ACV.
- Cover jar and place in the fridge for 8-24 hours.
- Then remove from jar and place on a dryer sheet from your food dehydrator.
- If you desire, add some cracked pepper or sea salt on top.
- Dehydrate according to the temperature instructions specific to your dehydrator.
- Check doneness by picking up a piece and checking the underside, if it is still pink or grey (meaning it's not done) then flip the pieces and continue to dehydrate until they look like beef jerky. Test a piece by eating it after you think it looks done.
- That’s it! Easy peasy! This will last for a few weeks in Ziploc bag in the fridge.
