Beef Jerky - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. soy or teriyaki sauce
1/4 c. molasses
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. onion salt
1 Tbsp. ground ginger
1 Tbsp. monosodium glutamate
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 (12 oz.) can beer
3 lb. round steak (1-inch thick)

Preparation

Blend all ingredients, except beef.
Add beer and stir.
Cut steak across grain into 1/4-inch slices.
Put into a tight fitting container.
Pour marinade over meat.
Refrigerate overnight, turning once or twice.
Discard marinade and pat meat with paper towels to remove excess moisture; salt and pepper to taste.
Put on skewers, meat hanging down.
Dry in a smoker or in the oven on lowest setting with oven door cracked open so moisture can escape. Cook until desired dryness, not brittle.
