Step 1

Trim all exterior fat off the beef roast. Flash freeze the beef for 30-45 minutes, so it's frozen on the outside, but soft-ish on the inside. This aids in slicing the beef thin. Then slice the beef roast against the grain into 1/8-inch thick strips.

Step 2

Place the beef strips in a large zip bag. Add all remaining ingredients to the bag. Zip the bag closed, then shack and massage the beef so the seasoning coats every strip.

Step 3

Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate the beef for at least 2 hours, but up to 12 hours. *The longer the beef marinades, the better!

Step 4

When ready to bake, heat the oven to 175 degrees F. Line 2-3 large rimmed baking sheets with foil, and place baking racks on the pans.

Step 5

Drain the marinade off the beef and lay the strips in a single layer across the baking racks.

Step 6

Bake the beef jerky for 3-4 hours, until it reaches your desired texture. At the 3-hour mark, take one piece out of the oven and cool. Then test for texture and continue baking if needed.
