1Tbspgarlic powder
1Tbspblack pepper
1Tbsponion powder
1/2cupsoy sauce
1tspbeef bullion powder
1Tbspliquid smoke
Instructions
Preheat oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine all ingredients in bowl and mix thoroughly including any optional ingredients you have have decided to add.
Divide mixture into flat strips. You can use a jerky gun for this or follow the directions in the post. The strips should be between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick. For ticker strips more cooking time will be needed.
Place strips on baking cooling racks.
Place racks in oven and let cook/dry for 2 hours.
For a dryer jerky, increase cook time but do not shorten time to less than 2 hours. The jerky needs to reach an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit for this recipe.
For best long term storage I refrigerate the jerky in FoodSaver Bags or in Ziploc.
