Ingredients

2 lbs lean roast
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons fish sauce or tamari or coconut aminos
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
4 packets stevia optional

Instructions

Begin by cutting the lean roast into thin slices, aiming for pieces about 1 inch wide. For easier slicing, consider freezing the meat for a few hours before you start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, fish sauce (or alternatives like coconut aminos or tamari), sea salt, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, and stevia. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
Place the sliced meat into the bowl containing the marinade. Use your hands to ensure that every piece is thoroughly coated with the rich blend of seasonings. Allow the meat to marinate for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight for an intensified flavor infusion.
Once the marination process is complete, spread the seasoned meat evenly in the dehydrator's basket. Ensure that the slices are laid out without overlapping to facilitate proper dehydration.
Set your dehydrator to a temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 68 degrees Celsius). Allow the meat to dehydrate for around 16 hours. This slow and controlled process is crucial to achieve the perfect jerky texture and flavor.
After 16-24 hours, your beef jerky should be thoroughly dried out, yet tender to the bite. This is when you know it's ready to be enjoyed.
Carefully remove the beef jerky from the dehydrator and place it in an airtight container. This ensures its freshness and lasting quality.
