Ingredients: 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup coconut aminos. 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon onion powder. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pinch of cayenne pepper optional.
Instructions: Coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, smoked paprika, minced garlic, black pepper, and cayenne if using should all be combined in a bowl. To make the marinade, thoroughly mix. Make sure that all of the thinly sliced beef sirloin is evenly coated by adding it to the marinade. For optimal effects, marinate in the fridge for at least two hours or overnight. Set the oven temperature to 175F 80C. After taking the marinated beef slices out of the fridge, pat them dry with paper towels to get rid of any leftover marinade. To allow for air circulation, place the beef slices on a wire rack that is placed on top of a baking sheet. For three to four hours, or until the jerky is dry and firm to the touch, bake the beef slices in the preheated oven. If you have a dehydrator, you can use it as well; just follow the manufacturer's instructions. After cooking, allow the beef jerky to cool fully before putting it in an airtight container.
