Oven made Alaskan Beef (or deer) jerky

I have used this recipe for years and thought I would share. Even if you don’t use the oven, this is a great marinade for your jerky.

Beef Jerky:

Mix

1 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Cup Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon White Pepper
1 Tablespoon (or to taste) Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tablespoon (or to taste) Tabasco Sauce
2 Tablespoons Sugar (Optional)
1/2 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 Tablespoon Onion Powder

For the meat; buy a roast with little fat on it. You can use other meats of your choice but you get more with a roast. Cut the meat into 1/4 inch thick strips. Thicker or thinner depending on how you want it. Cut it with the grain for chewy jerky, or against the grain for a crispier texture. Place the meat in a bowl with the ingredients and allow it to sit over night.

Set oven to the lowest setting. Prop the door open with a wood block to allow for the lowest heat setting. Take a 9x13 pan and line it with foil to make cleaning easier. Place a cake rack (or other wire rack) on top of the pan. Place the meat on the wire rack and allow about 5 hours, then turn the meat. About 8-12 hours total will be what it takes.
