Grilled Beef Jerky

Directions

1. 1
   Freeze the meat for 30 to 60 minutes, until it is semisolid.
2. 2
   Slice as thinly as possible (if you have a slicing machine, this is the time to use it).
3. 3
   Combine the meat with all the remaining ingredients.
4. 4
   Marinate for 2 to 24 hours.
5. 5
   Drain the meat, then place it on a rackthe slices should not be touching one anotherand put it in an oven set at its lowest temperature (or place in the sun, or use a dehydrator).
6. 6
   Cook the meat, turning it occasionally, until dry but still pliable, at least 4 hours and probably more (if it takes less time than that, your oven is too hot; you can proceed, but next time look for a tamer heat source).Wrap and refrigerate the meat for up to a couple of days if you like.
7. 7
   Start a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be quite hot and the rack no more than 4 inches from the heat source.
8. 8
   Grill the slices quickly, until lightly browned on both sides.
9. 9
   Serve hot or at room temperature.
