Ingredients
To make sweet beef jerky, you will need the following ingredients:
2 pounds of beef (flank steak or top round)
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of soy sauce
1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons of black pepper
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Instructions
Now that you have all the ingredients, it's time to start making the sweet beef jerky. Follow these steps:
Trim the beef of any excess fat and slice it into thin strips. Make sure the strips are uniform in thickness.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
Add the beef strips to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are fully coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. The longer you marinate the beef, the more flavorful it will be.
Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
Arrange the beef strips on the baking sheet, making sure they are not touching.
Bake the beef jerky in the oven for 3-4 hours, or until it is dry and chewy. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the beef strips.
Check the beef jerky every hour and rotate the baking sheet if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Once the beef jerky is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
Store the sweet beef jerky in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it for longer storage.
