Homemade Teriyaki Beef Jerky
This homemade teriyaki beef jerky features thinly sliced rump roast marinated overnight in a mix of soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, liquid smoke, and brown sugar. The marination infuses the beef strips with a balance of savory, sweet, and smoky flavors before drying them slowly to create chewy, flavorful jerky. It can be dried using a food dehydrator or a low-temperature oven method.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 pounds rump roast sliced 1/8" thick by 2 - 2 1/2" wide strips, lean
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, smoke, and brown sugar together and pour over beef strips. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator overnight. If you are using a food dehydrator, follow the manufacturer's directions.
- If you do not have a dehydrator you may use your oven. Turn the oven on low, 150 -175 degrees. the temperature should not go over 175 degrees.
- Place the strips of beef on a wire rack that has been set on top of a jelly roll or sheet pan. The pan will collect the liquid and the wire rack will let the air circulate for better drying.
- When placing the strips on the wire rack do not overcrowd the pieces. Turn the strips two or three times during drying. This method will take 6 to 8 hours depending on the thickness of the meat.

Notes
- Marinate beef strips overnight to ensure full flavor penetration before drying.
- Use a wire rack elevated on a baking sheet to allow air circulation and collect drippings during drying.
- Keep oven temperature low (150-175°F) to slowly dehydrate without cooking the meat.
- Turn strips two or three times during drying for uniform dryness and texture.
