Ginger and soy sauce are the secrets to this Hawaiian-style jerky made in a drying box in the sun or in the oven.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 7 hours

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds flank steak
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Hawaiian salt
  • 1-1/2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 piece ginger, crushed
  • 1 crushed red chile pepper (optional)

Preparation:

Cut beef into strips about 1-1/3 inches wide. Combine soy sauce, Hawaiian salt, sugar, garlic, ginger, and red chile pepper and soak beef in the sauce overnight.

If you have a drying box, place the meat in hot sun for two days, bringing it in at night.

If drying in the oven, set oven to 175 degrees F. Place meat on a rack such as a cake cooking rack. Place rack on a cookie sheet and dry meat in oven for 7 hours. Keep in refrigerator.

Yield: about 1 pound jerky
