Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean beef (flank steak, sirloin, or round)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice beef into thin strips (freeze for 30 minutes first for easier cutting).
  2. In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Add beef strips, cover, and marinate for 6–12 hours in the fridge.
Cooking
  1. Lay beef strips in a single layer on the racks of the air fryer oven.
  2. Set air fryer oven to 175°F (80°C) and cook for 120–240 minutes. Flip halfway through.
  3. Check doneness: Jerky should be dry, slightly chewy, and bend without breaking.
Cooling & Storing
  1. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week; refrigerate for up to 2 weeks; freeze for up to 3 months.
