The Ultimate Beef Jerky

I am spoiled to this recipe and I know you will be too. It doesn't last long around my house. I've occasionally caught others sneaking a few pieces out of the oven before it was completely finished. Once you try it you will never want to go back to store bought ever again.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
• 1 ½ tablespoons steak seasoning rub
• 1 (1 1/2-pound) London broil roast, thinly sliced along the grain

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke and steak seasoning in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Pour the marinade into a glass or plastic bowl and add the meat slices. Stir to coat and then cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Turn or stir occasionally to marinate the meat evenly.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Arrange the beef strips on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. If you like, you can sprinkle a little more steak seasoning on it at this point.

Step 4

Bake for 60 to 90 minutes in the preheated oven, until dry but still pliable. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
