Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 2 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper divided
  • 1 3/4 pound london broil thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, chili garlic sauce, granulated garlic and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Place thinly sliced london broil in a resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over the top. Seal and marinate at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Remove from refrigerator one hour prior to cooking.
  • Preheat oven to lowest temperature, mine is 170 degrees.
  • Line 2 - 3 large baking sheets with aluminum foil. Place cooling racks on top of baking sheets.
  • Lay slices of jerky, 1/4 inches apart, on the trays. Sprinkle with remaining pepper.
  • Place trays on oven rack. Place the handle of a wooden spoon in the oven door just top prop it open slightly. Cook for 3 hours.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for another hour. Transfer to a air tight container. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

It has been brought to my attention that the cooling fans in some ovens kick on if it is propped open and it won't cook the jerky as well. If that is the case with your oven, simply cook it with the door closed. It will still cook well!
