Servings: 4
Cost: $10.18, $2.55 per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef steak such as top round or sirloin, trimmed of excess fat
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Slice the beef against the grain into strips approximately ¼ inch thick.
- Whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag.
- Add the beef and toss until evenly coated. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate for 4–8 hours, or overnight for a more intense flavor.
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°F. If it does not have a low-temperature setting, use the lowest setting available.
- Remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Arrange the beef in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 1½–2 hours, or until the jerky is dry and firm but still slightly pliable. Check it every 30 minutes and flip the slices for even drying.
- Transfer the jerky from the air fryer and let it cool completely at room temperature.

Notes
If the steak is partially frozen, it will be easier to slice thinly.
To add some heat to the jerky, you can include 1-2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper in the marinade.
Marinade for 4-8 hours.
