Marinades for Top Round Beef Jerky
It's a lot easier to make Homemade Beef Jerky than you think. Super easy to make but plan ahead as it does take several hours to make.
There's nothing better than some Homemade Beef Jerky. Much easier to make than you think but you do need to plan ahead as this jerky recipe will take a minimum of 6-7 hours to make.
If you are wondering how long you need to marinate beef jerky, you need at least 3 hours in the refrigerator but ideally, you should leave it in the fridge overnight. Cook time will be 3-4 hours depending on. your cooking conditions.
Like many of my recipes, this beef jerky recipe is super simple to make. It merely involves making a marinade, letting the beef marinate then cooking the beef low and slow.
The hardest part will be cutting the thin slices of beef against the grain. If you can't tell which way the grain of the meat is going, don't fret too much. It won't ruin jerky. It will just be better if cut against the grain.
💠Recipe Tip
If you are finding it difficult to slice thin pieces around ¼ inch thick, having the meat partially frozen will make it easier to cut. Additionally, a good sharp Chef's knife is recommended over a serrated knife.
♨️ Cooking Alternative
Since everyone looking for recipes on the Internet probably has an oven, I included the instructions for making the jerky using the oven. You can however cook the jerky in a BBQ or smoker as long as you can maintain a consistent temperature of 175°F-180°F for the duration of the cook.
Because of the Soy Sauce and Worceschire Sauce, the slices of beef will darken fairly quickly and you might think they are going to burn and might be inclined to take them out of the oven or off the grill before the time is up. If you maintain a consistent temperature, they will take at least 3 hours to cook. They should be dry and have a little bend to them.
🥩 What are the Best Cuts of Beef
In my experience, the best cuts of beef to make homemade beef jerky are Top Round or Flank Steak. While I typically use Top Round, both are an excellent choice and will yield tender jerky.
