Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the Beef: Place the beef in the freezer for about 30 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly. Once chilled, slice the beef against the grain into 1/4-inch thick strips.
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine Dr Pepper, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, jalapeno peppers, garlic, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), brown sugar, and liquid smoke (if using). Whisk the marinade until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Marinate the Beef: Place the beef strips in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring that all pieces are coated evenly. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight.
-
Preheat the Dehydrator or Oven: Preheat to 160°F (70°C) for drying the marinated beef.
-
Drain and Pat Dry: Remove the beef strips from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels.
-
Dehydrate or Bake: Arrange the beef strips for drying. Dehydrate for 4-6 hours, or bake for 3-4 hours, until dried but still slightly pliable.
-
Cool and Store: Let the beef jerky cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
