BEEF JERKY
My kids love it when I make this. I also make a "hot" version by adding a teaspoon of crushed red chili flakes. Prep and cook time includes marinating and drying times.

Steps:
- Remove all fat from the meat.
- Wrap meat in plastic wrap and freeze until almost solid (about 2 hours).
- This is important--makes it easier to cut thin, even slices.
- Remove from freezer and cut with the grain into neat 1/8-inch thick slices.
- Arrange in a shallow dish.
- Mix remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Cool and pour over sliced meat.
- Marinate overnight in the refrigerator, stirring once or twice.
- Line oven bottom with foil.
- Preheat oven to 250°.
- Pat meat dry with paper towels.
- Arrange in a single layer on a roasting rack and place in preheated oven.
- Immediately reduce heat to 150° and allow to dry slowly for 8 hours or so.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Note: Allow anywhere from 6 to 24 hours for it to dry.
- Finished jerky should be stiff but still bendable.
- Meats need to be dried at 145° or above to kill microorganisms.
