A teriyaki, soy sauce, orange juice, and honey marinade flavors beef jerky made from London broil. Plan ahead to marinate overnight as well as 8 to 12 hours of drying time. You may make this jerky in a standard oven or in a dehydrator.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (not onion salt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2/3 cup bottled teriyaki marinade
  • 1/2 cup of no-pulp orange juice
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 1 pound London broil, sliced across the grain into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick strips

Preparation:

If you partially freeze the beef just until ice crystals form, it will be much easier to cut the thin strips.

In a medium, nonreactive bowl, whisk together brown sugar, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Add teriyaki marinade, orange juice, water, honey, soy sauce, and liquid smoke. Whisk until salt has dissolved.

Place London broil beef strips in a large freezer ziptop bag. Add marinade to the bag, seal, and toss to coat the meat. Unseal, squeeze out all the air, reseal, and refrigerate 24 to 36 hours.

Pat strips dry with paper towels. Distribute beef strips in a single layer on dehydrator racks. Dry for 4 to 8 hours, turning racks every hour, and turning jerky strips over midway through the drying process.

When done, the jerky should have no signs of redness and be pliable enough to bend in half without breaking.

Recipe is easily multiplied.

Very good!October 16, 2009By aventor.com
"This is a very nice alternative to the usual worchestershire + soy sauce type jerky. Thought it was going to be very sweet, and the marinade sure is, but it really complements the meat very well and the result is a tasty, mild, yet flavorful jerky. I didn't actually use liquid smoke the recipe calls for, but the result was great regardless. Definitely going to be making this again."
