  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs flank steak
2 tbsp soy sauce alternative (sugar-free)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Trim fat from beef and slice against the grain into ¾-inch strips
In a bowl, combine soy sauce alternative, vinegar, and spices until smooth
Pour marinade over beef in a large ziplock bag; massage to coat. Refrigerate overnight (8–12 hours)
Preheat dehydrator to 160°F or oven to lowest setting with fan
Arrange beef strips on dehydrator trays or wire racks, ensuring they don’t touch. Dry for 3–4 hours until chewy but firm
Test jerky by biting; it should be flexible without softness at the center

Notes

Use keto-friendly soy sauce substitute (e.g., coconut-amino based)
Store in airtight containers for up to 2 weeks
For extra crunch, dry 1–2 hours longer
Adjust cayenne pepper for personal spice preference
