Teriyaki beef jerky. There’s hardly anything that’s more delicious, savory, and healthy (at least in our books). It’s without a doubt one of the most popular nutritious snacks and preparing it is pretty simple, now that food dehydrators are around. With these handy and affordable kitchen appliances, you can make a variety of healthy homemade snacks, and beef jerky is just one of them—and teriyaki beef jerky is a favorite of many. Lean and juicy beef strips, homemade teriyaki sauce, and a fusion of flavors, what's not to love!
Ingredients
Beef (lean cuts like sirloin roast or the eye of round roast)
1 cup Soy sauce
1/2 cup Brown sugar
3 Cloves of sliced garlic
1/4 cup Rice vinegar
1 tsp Black pepper
Salt to taste
Onion powder to taste
Directions
1Start with 1 cup of soy sauce, half a cup of brown sugar, 3 to 4 cloves of sliced garlic, quarter of a cup of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, salt, and onion powder, and whisk in a large bowl until the mix is unified. Be sure that the salt and powders are properly dissolved.
2Turn your dehydrator to around 140°-160° F and evenly distribute the beef strips on the drying rack. It’s important to place them evenly and in a single layer to achieve an even drying process. Once you have placed the strips, they should be dried for 4 to 8 hours. Remember that you’re aiming for around 160° F.
3Check it every hour to make sure it’s done, which you will know when the strips are rigid and fully dry, with just the slightest bendiness. Overly soft, moist, and pliant strips are not finished yet.
4With most dehydrator appliances nowadays, this whole process is simple and rewarding, giving everyone a chance to try their hand at creating this delicious, savory, and healthy snack. Properly prepared jerky can last up to a month in the fridge, which makes it an almost zero effort meal to prepare.
Choosing and preparing the meat
When choosing your meat, you’ll always want to aim for the cuts that are as lean as possible, with next to no fat. The best choices are usually the sirloin roast and the eye of round roast. Now, before slicing your roast into appropriate strips, you might want to put it into the fridge for a while. When fresh, the meat might be harder to slice neatly, as it is soft and pliant. But once cooled down, it will be rigid enough to allow precise and uniform slicing.
