Chili Lime Beef Jerky

Recipe by: Courtney Hamilton

Making homemade beef jerky is a simple process - costing you pennies compared to the packaged stuff.

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef round
• 3 dried chilis, diced
• 1/3 cup tamari + 3 dashes, divided
• 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
• 2 T olive oil
• 2½ juiced limes, divided

Instructions

• Trim excess fat and tendons from beef. Slice beef into thin slivers (the thinner, the shorter the cook time). Tip: Par-freeze the beef round beforehand to make even slicing easier.
• In a bag or dish, combine beef slices, chilis, 1/3 cup tamari, red wine vinegar, olive oil and the juice of 2 limes. Mix together in bag or dish and marinate for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight.
• When ready to cook, heat oven to 200°F. Line beef slices on a foil-covered baking sheet. Bake until dried and chewy, turning occasionally. Ours took 2½ hours.
• In last 30 minutes of cook time, dash jerky with remaining tamari, lime juice and more chili, if desired. This will reduce into a flavorful glaze.
