A delicious and spicy beef jerky recipe infused with the unique flavor of Dr. Pepper and jalapeños.

Scale

Trim any excess fat from the flank steak or beef round and slice the beef against the grain into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick).
In a large bowl, combine the Dr. Pepper, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sliced jalapeños. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).
Preheat the dehydrator to 160°F, or the oven to the lowest setting (usually around 170°F).
Remove the beef from the marinade and drain it well. Lay the strips out in a single layer on your dehydrator trays or a lined baking sheet.
If using a dehydrator, let it run for 6-8 hours until dry but slightly pliable. If using an oven, check regularly; it may take about 4-6 hours.
Once done, let the jerky cool completely.
Store in an airtight container or vacuum seal for maximum freshness.
