Ingredients




2 lbs. extra lean ground beef
 cup soy sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

Preparation

1 Mix all ingredients together in a good sized mixing bowl. Use your hands to make sure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat. Refrigerate the mixture for at least a couple of hours or up to 24 hours for a stronger flavor. Roll the meat out in strips or patties and dry in 150 degree oven with the door ajar for 4 to 8 hours. 2 Drying time will vary depending on humidity and the fat content of the meat. Once removed from the oven jerky is cooled and stored in an open container to allow drying to continue. Seal the container to prevent further drying. Store in refrigerator or freezer.
