It requires the following ingredients:
One-pound broiled beef
One tablespoon of brown sugar
¼ teaspoon of peeper (coarse black)
One teaspoon of onion powder (avoid onion salt)
½ teaspoon of garlic powder (avoid garlic salt)
One tablespoon of corn syrup
One teaspoon of salt
½-cup orange juice without pulp
One teaspoon of soy sauce
One teaspoon of liquid smoke
¼-cup water
2/3 cup of teriyaki marinade (Kikkoman)
Instructions to prepare the beef jerky:
Slice the beef into 1/8 – 1/4 -inch strips. Place all dry ingredients in a glass bowl (avoid metal utensils). Next, add the liquid ingredients and salt in the glass bowl and blend it thoroughly. Put the pieces of beef in the bowl and apply the mixture to it. Cover the bowl and keep it in the refrigerator for about 24-36 hours.
Remove the bowl from refrigerator. Pat the beef pieces with a towel to remove any extra moisture. Next, place the beef pieces on the racks of your dehydrator for around 4 to 8 hours. Turn the racks after every one hour. To test it, fold the beef jerky piece into half. When you fold, it needs to bend and not crack. It must also not show any sign of reddishness.
Remove the beef pieces, allow them to cool and then store them in an airtight container. To make over one pound of teriyaki beef jerky, double the amount of ingredients so that the sauce is enough to cover the beef pieces.
