Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs beef (round, rump or sirloin tip, use london broil for best results)
  • 1/3 cup dry sherry
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh gingerroot, finely diced

Directions:

  1. Remove all fat from the meat.
  2. Wrap meat in plastic wrap and freeze until almost solid (about 2 hours).
  3. This is important-makes it easier to cut thin, even slices.
  4. Remove from freezer and cut with the grain into neat 1/8-inch thick slices.
  5. Arrange in a shallow dish.
  6. Mix remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  7. Cool and pour over sliced meat.
  8. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator, stirring once or twice.
  9. Line oven bottom with foil.
  10. Preheat oven to 250°.
  11. Pat meat dry with paper towels.
  12. Arrange in a single layer on a roasting rack and place in preheated oven.
  13. Immediately reduce heat to 150° and allow to dry slowly for 8 hours or so.
  14. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  15. Note: Allow anywhere from 6 to 24 hours for it to dry.
  16. Finished jerky should be stiff but still bendable.
  17. Meats need to be dried at 145° or above to kill microorganisms.
