Ingredients

Lean Beef

Marinade

  • ½ cup unseasoned rice vinegar
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Trim all visible fat from the beef and place in freezer for an hour or two to partially freeze.
  • While the meat is in the freezer, combine the rice vinegar, sriracha sauce, brown sugar, granulated ginger, granulated garlic, and salt in a medium bowl or ziplock bag.
  • Remove the meat from the freezer and slice ¼" strips against the grain. Cut with the grain for a chewier jerky. Or skip the freezing phase and use a Jerky Slicer for evenly sliced strips.
  • Add sliced beef to the mixture and marinate for 8-24 hours in the refrigerator.
  • After the meat has finished marinating, remove from refrigerator and strain excess marinade.
  • Dry with your favorite jerky making method. A dehydrator was used with this recipe and dried for 1 hour at 160 degrees and an additional 3 hours at 145 degrees.
  • The jerky is finished when it bends and cracks, but does not break in half.
