To this, we add a hint of garlic powder, onion powder, and cracked black pepper for an extra kick. Let the meat marinate for at least three hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate and transform the beef.
Once marinated, the beef strips are laid out on a dehydrator rack, where they will dry for about five hours, or until they reach your desired level of dryness. The result? A jerky that's sweet, hot, and spicy, with a perfect balance of protein, fat, and carbs.
