A homemade beef jerky marinade made with soy sauce, liquid smoke, brown sugar, and spices makes the most flavorful beef jerky ever! I have been making jerky for years and I concocted this recipe by trial and error. Everyone says it is the best jerky they've ever had! My dehydrator is designed for jerky and takes about 4 hours to dry the meat. This could also be done in the oven or using other dehydrators, just check your manual for correct times as each machine is different. I hope you enjoy this jerky as much as my family and I do. Store in an airtight container or resealable bags.

Ingredients

  • low-sodium soy sauce: 0.25 cup
  • Worcestershire sauce: 2 Tbsp
  • liquid smoke: 2 Tbsp
  • brown sugar: 2 Tbsp
  • salt: 2 tsp
  • ground black pepper: 1 tsp
  • meat tenderizer: 1 tsp
  • garlic powder: 1 tsp
  • onion powder: 1 tsp
  • ground paprika: 1 tsp
  • beef round steak: 2 pound (cut into thin strips)
