Honey & Lemon Beef Jerky - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs very lean sirloin beef, sliced 1/4 inch thick (the type packaged as \"fajita beef\" or \"stir-fry beef\")
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce or 1/2 cup tamari soy sauce
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Combine garlic, honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, salt and pepper, and marinate steak strips in this overnight in a plastic zipper bag.
The next day, cover oven rack beneath with foil for easy clean-up.
Preheat oven to 180 degrees F.
Place slices on a baking rack, prop oven door slightly with an oven mitt to allow humidity to escape, and dry meat on racks.
In my oven, the process took about 6-1/2 hours.
Check meat after 5 hours; it could take as long as 7 hours.
Blot any grease spots that may come up.
