• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes
• 1/2 tsp salt

Steps

1. 1

   Partially freeze the beef for 1 hour to make slicing easier. Slice against the grain into very thin strips.

4. 4

   Arrange beef strips in a single layer on the racks, not touching.

5. 5

   Bake for 3-4 hours, flipping once, until dried and chewy but not brittle.

6. 6

   Cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
