Instructions
Trim all fat off meat.

The steak should be about 1/2 inch thick.
It’s easier to cut meat partially frozen.
Pound meat lightly, you don’t want it too thin.
Add all ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix well.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (8 hrs.).
Line cookie sheets with tin foil.
Place steak strips on sheets, don’t overlap meat.
Set oven at lowest temperature. (150-175°F).
Bake six hours, turning after three hours.
Jerky is done when meat is dried out, depending on your oven.
