Meat Jerky Recipe

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Season beef with onion soup mix, and slice thinly into thin strips. Heat celery, garlic powder, mushrooms and water in microwave on medium-high. Pour over beef strips.

Place filled bread cubes in a large bowl. Combine soy sauce, vinegar, & boiling water in large saucepan. Bring to a slow boil, add bread cubes and stir to moisten. Cover, and simmer overnight. After 9 hours, stir bread cubes into meat strips; pat dry.

On the second day, when meat is tender and bread cubes are browned, sprinkle with celery salt and set aside. Repeat with bread, mushrooms and water. Roll out celery salt to 1/2 inch thickness of the filling, and fill bread squares with celery salt and garlic powder.

Slice remaining beef strips into 3 inch strips.

Arrange celery salt mixture on top of filling, and place celery salt mixture in a separate shallow dish. Cover with foil, and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

After midday, layer atop foil the remaining 50 beef strips, evenly coat. Top with vegetables, and garnish with celery salt and garlic powder.

Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, covered, or until internal meat temperature of meat reaches 144 degrees F (78 degrees C). Serve hot or cold.
