Instructions

Step 1: Slice the Beef

  1. Freeze the Beef: Place the beef in the freezer for 30 minutes to make slicing easier.
  2. Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2: Make the Marinade

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Step 3: Marinate the Beef

  1. Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4: Preheat the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 180°F (82°C) or the lowest temperature setting.

Step 5: Arrange the Beef

  1. Remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. Arrange the beef strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket or on the rack. Do not overlap the pieces for even drying.

Step 6: Air Fry the Beef Jerky

  1. Air fry at 180°F (82°C) for 2–3 hours, flipping the strips halfway through.
  2. Check for doneness: The jerky should be dry and slightly chewy but not brittle.

Step 7: Cool and Store

  1. Let the jerky cool completely before storing.
  2. Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
