Honey & Lemon Beef Jerky image

This is a delicious marinade for beef jerky. The lemon juice tenderizes the meat but doesn't necessarily make it taste "lemony". Also, instead of the usual flank steak, I used the 1/4-inch sirloin slices usually packaged as "fajita beef" or "stir-fry beef". It's lean and saves on slicing time. In my oven it finished drying in about 6-1/2 hours at 180 degrees, but check after around 5 hours just to be safe.

Time 18h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs very lean sirloin beef, sliced 1/4 inch thick (the type packaged as "fajita beef" or "stir-fry beef")
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce or 1/2 cup tamari soy sauce
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine garlic, honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, salt and pepper, and marinate steak strips in this overnight in a plastic zipper bag.
  • The next day, cover oven rack beneath with foil for easy clean-up.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees F.
  • Place slices on a baking rack, prop oven door slightly with an oven mitt to allow humidity to escape, and dry meat on racks.
  • In my oven, the process took about 6-1/2 hours.
  • Check meat after 5 hours; it could take as long as 7 hours.
  • Blot any grease spots that may come up.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can use different types of beef and adjust the seasonings to your liking. I've even tried making it with chicken and it turned out great.

The honey lemon marinade really tenderizes the beef and infuses it with so much flavor. I love the chewy texture of the jerky and the way the honey and lemon complement each other.
