Ingredients
  

  • 2 pound bottom round cut of the beef  flank steak
  • 8 ozs coconut amino sauce

Instructions
 

  • Slice the meat into the same thickness long strips.
  • Prepare a glass container with a lid for marinating. Place meat strips inside, add coconut aminos sauce, close the container tightly. Leave in the refrigerator overnight.
  • The next day, preheat the oven to 170 degrees F. Arrange meat pieces on oven-safe cooling wire racks making sure pieces don’t overlap or touch each other, place them in preheated oven. If using two racks, switch their positions after two hours in the oven. While in the oven no beef jerky flipping is required.
  • Bake in the oven for 3-4 hours, depending on the thickness of the meat. The jerky is done when dry and looking leather-like while still chewy, juicy, and not breakable. The beef jerky in this recipe was ready in 4 hours.

Notes

It's important to marinate the meat overnight; otherwise, beef jerky won’t be juicy and flavorful.
Once cooked, store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.
The nutrition calculations are approximate using 3rd party service. The soaked coconut aminos are used in the jerky; the leftover juice is discarded.
