My fiancée and I started dieting. We wanted to keep the carbs down so we had to make our own jerky, without sugar. This recipe is not spicy, at all. She can't handle heat.

I just really wanted to try making some beef jerky.The meat will look terrible if you use thin slices so try to use thicker pieces.If you cut the pieces quite small then they'll probably cook faster.Please adjust the cooking time depending on the type of oven you are using. Recipe by Babagarei

This Spicy Beef Jerky is packed with bold flavors and inspired by my love for Sichuan spices. The mix of numbing peppercorns, smoky chili flakes, and savory goodness makes it a favorite snack. I love it fresh out of the dehydrator, still warm and chewy. It’s perfect for road trips or anytime I want a flavorful, protein-packed bite! Enjoy!

I never liked or wanted to try beef jerky. The whole idea of eating a dried out piece of steak turned me off. I was at a local fair one day and was given a sample. Wow it was good. I said to myself how could I make this on my own. Here you go I hope you enjoy this!!!!

I was making different flavored beef jerky to find how they taste this is one of them. I had to cut this into thirds to put into a ziploc bag.

The American Institute for Cancer Research recommends limiting red meat consumption to 18 ounces of cooked red meat per week to reduce cancer risk. Making this recipe will be shy of that limit, but it's makes up a significant portion. Keep in mind your red meat consumption throughout the week and also opt for more fish based meals if you give a shit about your health.Eye of round beef: calories/454 gramsBrown sugar: 102 calories/28 gramsWorcestershire sauce: 54 calories/69 gramsCrushed red pepper: 18 calories/6 gramsSoy sauce: 17 calories/32 gramsGarlic powder: 10 calories/3 gramsOnion powder: 8 calories/2 gramsGround black pepper: 6 calories/2 grams911 calories total, 456 calories per serving

I’m always tweaking different recipes to come up with my own. I think I got it right with this one with the Ghost Pepper Puree. My best jerky yet. #mycookbook
