Beef Jerky
Difficulty:* Expert
Prep Time:* 20 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 8 hours
Cook Time:* 12 hours
Yield:* 10 to 12 ounces

1-1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak
2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
2/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Special Equipment: 1 box fan, 4 paper air-conditioning filters, and 2 bungee cords

Trim the flank steak of any excess fat, place in a zip-top bag, and place it in the freezer for 1-2 hours in order to firm up.

Remove the steak from the freezer and thinly slice the meat with the grain, into long strips.

Place the strips of meat along with all of the remaining ingredients into a large, 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and move around to evenly distribute all of the ingredients. Place the bag into the refrigerator for 3-6 hours.

Remove the meat from the brine and pat dry. Evenly distribute the strips of meat onto 3 of the air filters, laying them in the grooves and then stacking the filters on top of one another. Top these with 1 empty filter. Next, lay the box fan on its side and lay the filters on top of it. Strap the filters to the fan with 2 bungee cords. Stand the fan upright, plug in and set to medium. Allow the meat dry for 8-12 hours. If using a commercial dehydrator, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Once dry, store in a cool dry place, in an airtight container for 2-3 months.

Beef Jerky - A Healthy Snack For an Active Lifestyle

For a healthy, portable snack, one needs to look no further than the nutrient dense, low calorie, and filling treat, beef jerky. Jerky has been an important part of many people's lives for centuries, but with the advent of modern agriculture and food distribution, it has been relegated to a small niche on a supermarket shelf. While most people associate beef jerky with the old west, this healthy food is readily available, and makes an excellent snack anytime, especially with our busy modern lifestyle. It is a perfect on-the-go food for outdoor activities, and is easily carried in a bag or pocket for an anytime snack.

Beef jerky is an excellent source of lean protein, which promotes a feeling of fullness, and is a perfect choice to help sustain a person through the day. The low fat content helps keep calories down, and means it is healthier than many other snack options. For those on low carbohydrate diets, beef jerky is a perfect treat to help satisfy your craving for food without the accompanying carbohydrates. A celery stick doesn't seem an exciting option for many of us, and a savory snack such as beef jerky is satisfying without being a dieter's nightmare. It should come as no surprise to hear that supermodels have been known to nibble jerky throughout the day to help them feel satisfied and avoid the cravings that can come from dieting.

A 1 ounce serving of beef jerky can have as little as one gram of fat and, supplying the body with much needed nutrients without the sugar, fat, and preservatives that seem prevalent in every snack food these days. The ultimate portable food, beef jerky is easy to carry, store, enjoy, and share. While some commercial beef jerky products may be high in sodium, low salt options are readily available. If you can't find it at the grocery store, beef jerky is amazingly easy to make at home, without the need for special equipment. While dehydrators are not expensive, beef jerky can easily be made in a conventional oven with little effort. And jerky is not limited to beef, just about any meat can be made into jerky, and just about any flavor may be added to a variety of meats, with surprisingly good results.

Real beef jerky comes as strips of dried meat, firm yet pliant and ready for the road. It can be stored for indefinite periods of time, and is both pocket and shelf stable. Certain mass produced jerky sticks are not the beef jerky of yore, and often contain many other things that meat (fillers and preservatives). Many faux-jerky products come in special packaging, and leave behind a oily wrapper that must be disposed of. Real jerky is easy to carry, dry, so there is no transfer of oil or moisture, and a convenient way to take a small meal with you without having to worry about any preparation. There truly is no better food for an easy snack away from home.
