Homemade Beef Jerky...


This is another one of my beach treats for the family. This is so easy to make and so good. It never last long.


1 London broil
1/2 bottle dales marinate


Cut the London broil into thin strips. Place in a plastic zip bag with dales marinate and marinate for 12 to 24 hours. Take the oven racks out and place on as close to top as you can get and one as close to the bottom as you can. Take the meat out of the bag and place on a tooth pick and hang off the top rack. Place tinfoil over the bottom rack to catch the drippings.  Leave the oven door open to let out the moisture. Bake at 200 for 6 to 8 hours. Meat should bend. I use to use all types of spices in this recipe but I found that the dales marinate is really awesome to use..

Weekly Cooking Tip...

 For rich, creamy dressings made healthy, substitute half the mayo with Greek-style yogurt.

 Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
