A fun snack to make at home. Keeps well in an airtight container. Great for hiking or camping.

Oven-Dried Beef Jerky

1 pound flank steak
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 cloves large garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Put flank steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until firm, but pliable. Slice the steak very thinly across the grain, about 1/8-inch thick. Or, ask your butcher to do it for you when you purchase the meat.
2. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, garlic, worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt and ground black pepper. Mix well and combine with meat and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 180°F.
4. Place meat on a wire rack on a baking sheet and bake for 12 hours, or until meat is dried (it should bend, but not snap).
5. Store in an airtight container when cool.

Makes 6 servings.
