Homemade Beef Jerky

2.5 pounds lean london broil
1.5 tsp sea salt
4 tsp ground ginger
4 tsp onion powder
3/4 tsp Now stevia
2 tsp granulated garlic
3 tsp onion powder
1 cup water

Freeze london broil for 1-2 hours so that it is firm and easier to slice thinly.  Slice thin with electric meat slicer or knife.  Mix meat and all other ingredients in plastic bag and massage inside plastic bag to mix well.  Marinate 6+ hours.  After marinating lay marinated strips on dehydrator racks and dry to desired consistency.


This has no sugar, soy, or preservatives, is low salt, and I swear is just as good as the stuff you buy in the stores.
