Ingredients
2 pounds beef eye of round
2/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Prep the Beef
Slice the beef thinly across the grain into even strips.
Make the Marinade
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, light brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
Marinate
Place the beef strips in a sealable bag or container and pour the marinade over them, making sure all pieces are evenly coated. Seal tightly, pressing out excess air, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours (preferably overnight).
Dehydrate
Drain and discard the marinade. Arrange the beef slices in a single layer on dehydrator trays, leaving space between pieces. Set dehydrator to 165°F (74°C) and dry for about 6 hours, until the jerky is firm but still flexible.
Store
Cool completely, then store in airtight containers.
Marinate the beef for 12 hours.
Place on the dehydrator racks after 12 hours to cook for 6 hours at 165 degrees.
Store in a container. Refrigeration is not required.
