I decided to try out my new dehydrator this weekend. Aside from some simple fruit leather in mango and raspberry flavors, I came up with this delightful recipe. I’ve also used this recipe in this Asian Sweet Sauce. Enjoy!
1 lb flank steak, cut 1″ wide x 1/4″ thick x 4″-6″ long
1.5 cups of fresh orange juice (I used 4 medium oranges)
3 tbsp ginger fresh cut, large dice
1/2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp vinegar (I used distilled)
Salt to taste (I probably used about 3/4 tsp)
Instructions
Marinate in a freezer bag for at least 8 hours. I did it for 16 hours.
Dehydrate according to your dehydrator’s instructions. I have the presto dehydro 06300, so mine took about 5 hours at ~165F.
You should cook the jerky after dehydrating. The directions of my dehydrator was to cook the jerky for 10 minutes at 275F. It should be sizzling when you remove it.
Cool to room temperature and enjoy (or store it for later).
