Homemade Citrus Sriracha Beef Jerky

Beef jerky is the perfect snack for your diet and exercise program! Native American descendants of the Incas may have invented beef jerky. They used the preparation method to preserve meats for the winter and other times when hunting could not provide enough meat. Beef jerky is high in protein and doesn’t raise your level of insulin— a hormone that signals your body to store fat. That makes it an ideal between-meals snack, especially when you’re trying to lose weight. Try this recipe for Homemade Citrus Sriracha Beef Jerky!

For this recipe, it’s suggested that you let the beef deydrate for 3-5 hours. Keep in mind that the longer you dry the meat, the tougher it becomes.

Never greasy, never bland, and incredible just out of the oven, homemade jerky is the high-octane version of the world’s greatest muscle snack.
