- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
30 strips
ingredients
- 907.18 g london broil beef or 907.18 g flank steaks
- 236.59 ml dry red wine
- 118.29 ml soy sauce
- 236.59 ml Worcestershire sauce
- 118.29 ml red wine vinegar
- 4 clove garlic, mashed
- 1 jar red chili sauce (found in the Asian section of the store)
directions
- Place the meat in the freezer for an hour or so, until it is very firm—but not frozen—to make slicing easier.
- With a long, sharp knife, cut the meat into diagonal slices less than 1/4 inch thick.
- Lay the slices flat in a large glass or enamel baking dish.
- Combine the red wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, garlic, chili sauce and garlic.
- Pour over the meat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for about 4 hours (overnight works best), turning the slices several times to coat.
- Remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with absorbent paper towels.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on wire racks (such as those used for cooling cakes and cookies) and set the racks on foil-covered baking sheets (to catch the drips).
- Place in a 175º oven for about 2 or 3 hours, until dry and dark brown, but still pliable.
- Watch it closely; during the last half hour or so the meat can burn quickly.
- Let cool completely, then store airtight.

I made this friday night and just got done making it today with excellent results. My friends love jerky but it can get pricy so I'd thought I'd give this a try and I'm glad that I did. The tip on cutting meat when chilled is VERY helpful, I do this when I need to thinly slice all of my meats. This is a great recipe I plan on making again!

I live on the beautiful Central Coast of California. I am a 46 year old single mom and student (I got my AA degree in business management May 05).
I used to love to cook and try new recipes that is until my kids got to the point of...YUCK! I'm not eating that! Thank goodness they are growing up and willing to try new things now, so I am once again trying out new recipes.
I love to collect recipes and Recipezaar has made it so easy and paper free!!! (*cringes* and thinks of the drawers full little pieces of paper with recipes on them) My favorite cookbook is my mom's old (1930's) Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. Followed closely by the "______ the Beautiful" series, of which California the Beautiful (of course) is tops on that list.
