"Dry Meat", basically... a kind of Mexican jerky. The seasoning is deliciously subtle, and doesn't detract from the flavor of the beef. If you're ready for something a little different in jerky, this is it. I dry mine in the oven, but obviously you can do this in a dehydrator or smoker.

Ingredients

15 serv.
  • lean flank steak2 1⁄2 lbs

    cut into 1/4 inch slices

  • ground oregano2 teaspoons
  • salt2 teaspoons
  • red wine vinegar or cider vinegar3⁄4 cup
  • onions2

    chopped

  • garlic2

    sliced

  • fresh coarse ground black pepper1⁄2 teaspoon
  • liquid smoke1 teaspoon

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Place all ingredients in a plastic zipper bag and refrigerate overnight.

  2. 2

    The next day, if using your oven to dry, cover your oven racks with foil and preheat oven to 180 degrees F.

  3. 3

    Transfer drained meat to baking racks and dry for approximately 6 hours; depending on how thick the meat slices are, drying could take between 5 and 7 hours.

  4. 4

    Be sure to place a couple of potholders in the oven door to keep it slightly ajar so moisture can escape and the meat can dry more thoroughly.
