RECIPE: HOME-MADE JERKY

  Jan Anderson offers this month’s recipe, a treat she says her family has enjoyed for years “just like the pioneers.”

Serves: 6

Ingredients

·       2 pounds beef, top round, thinly sliced

·       ¾ cup Worcestershire sauce

·       ¾ cup soy sauce

·       1 tablespoon smoked paprika

·       1 tablespoon honey

·       2 teaspoons ground black pepper

·       1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

·       1 teaspoon garlic powder

·       1 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

  Mix sauces and dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add beef to bowl and turn to coat beef completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.  Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over the foil. Dry the beef slices on paper towels, then arrange them in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 3-4 hours at 175 degrees F. Cut into bite-size pieces and serve.
