Instructions

  1. Trim all exterior fat off the beef roast. Flash freeze the beef for 30-45 minutes, so it's frozen on the outside, but soft-ish on the inside. This aids in slicing the beef thin. Then slice the beef roast against the grain into 1/8-inch thick strips.
  2. Place the beef strips in a large zip bag. Add all remaining ingredients to the bag. Zip the bag closed, then shack and massage the beef so the seasoning coats every strip.
  3. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate the beef for at least 2 hours, but up to 12 hours. *The longer the beef marinades, the better!
  4. When ready to bake, heat the oven to 175 degrees F. Line 2-3 large rimmed baking sheets with foil, and place baking racks on the pans. 
  5. Drain the marinade off the beef and lay the strips in a single layer across the baking racks.
  6. Bake the beef jerky for 3-4 hours, until it reaches your desired texture. At the 3-hour mark, take one piece out of the oven and cool. Then test for texture and continue baking if needed.

Notes
