Calories 70 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs about 900g beef (top round or flank steak are good choices)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder adjust based on spice preference
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper optional for extra heat
  • 1 tsp garlic powder optional, for those who include it in their carnivore diet

Instructions
 

  • Partially freeze the beef for 1-2 hours to make it easier to slice thinly.
  • Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips, approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3-6 mm) thick.
  • In a bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  • Add the beef strips to the spice mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight for more intense flavor.
  • Preheat your dehydrator to 165°F (74°C). Place the beef strips on the dehydrator trays, ensuring they are not touching for proper air circulation.
  • Dehydrate for 4-6 hours, or until the jerky is dry but still pliable.
  • Let the jerky cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
