Ingredients
Units
For the meat:
- 1 pound brisket, skirt steak, or bottom round
For the marinade:
- 1/4 cup fermented tamari or coconut aminos
- 3 tablespoons raw honey
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the meat in the freezer for 30 minutes (to make it easier to slice). Remove the steak from the freezer and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place the meat slices in a large baking dish (such as 11×7-inch). Whisk tamari, honey, garlic, ginger, and black pepper in a small bowl. Pour sauce over meat, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.
- Preheat oven to 200ºF and adjust rack to middle position. Set 2 cooling racks on top of 2 large, rimmed baking sheets. Remove the beef from marinade and pat dry. Arrange the beef on the racks, leaving 1/4-inch between slices. Bake for about 4 hours, until jerky is firm and almost completely dry but still chewy. Cool completely. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
