Beef Jerky Lean round steak; trimmed of fat
Garlic powder; to taste
Black pepper; to taste
After trimming meat, slice into strips the thickness of the steak (about
1/2") and about 1/2" wide. LIGHTLY sprinkle with garlic powder and black
pepper. Lay strips over the oven rack. Set oven to bake at lowest
temperature -- around 120 degrees. Prop oven door open slightly. After
about 12 hours, raise heat to about 145 degrees for another 12 hours, still
leaving door ajar. These directions are for making jerky in Houston, Texas
where it is quite humid. In more arid locations, the time will be shorter.
Finished product with be ugly, brown-to-black, but GOOD!
