Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper, or to taste
- 1 pound lean beef sirloin tip, sliced into 1/8 inch strips
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup soy sauce
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 5 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Mix together onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl or cup. Season beef lightly, using only part of the spice blend and reserving the rest. Place beef into an airtight plastic container or bowl, and refrigerate.
Step 2
Stir together brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, balsamic vinegar, teriyaki sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke flavoring. Heat until brown sugar has completely dissolved. Refrigerate marinade until cool.
Step 3
Pour cooled marinade over the seasoned meat, and mix by hand to coat. Seal the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Step 4
Arrange beef strips on the rack of a dehydrator, and sprinkle with a little bit more of the spice mixture and red pepper flakes. Dry for 5 hours, or to your desired dryness.
Tips
Use an electric knife and slice a semi-frozen sirloin for ease of cutting and for thinner, more uniform slices.
