Marinade and Beef
Preparation and Dehydration
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped lemongrass, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Marinate the Beef
Slice the beef flank steak into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Prepare for Dehydration
Preheat your dehydrator to 160°F (70°C). Remove the beef from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
4. Dehydrate the Beef
Arrange the marinated beef strips in a single layer on the dehydrator trays, ensuring they do not overlap. Dehydrate for 4 to 6 hours or until the jerky is dry and firm but still slightly pliable.
5. Store the Jerky
Once dehydrated, let the jerky cool completely before storing it in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bag. It can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 month.
