Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean beef, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Add the thinly sliced beef and shredded carrots to the marinade. Stir to coat evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 170°F (77°C) or set your dehydrator to the appropriate temperature.
- Arrange the marinated beef and carrots in a single layer on dehydrator trays or baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Dehydrate for 4-8 hours, or until the jerky is dry and leathery. The time will vary depending on your dehydrator or oven.
- Let the jerky cool completely before storing.
