Total Time: 18 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 18 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 20
• 3 lbs flank steaks, lean lean lean
• 3 garlic cloves, minced fine
• 1 cup coconut aminos, it's a paleo alternative to soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne

Recipe

• 1 partially freeze the meat - 2 to 4 hours, so that you can slice it super thin. when it's all nice and frosty, slice your hunk o' meat into nice thin strips - and remove all the fat. i didn't do that the first time and the results were gross! the fat doesn't dry out, it just gets kind of squidgy and gelatinous. bleck!
• 2 place the coconut aminos and all other remaining ingredients in a large zip-lock bag. add in the meat. shake and smoosh to completely soak the meat. place the bag in the fridge and marinate for 2-24 hours - longer is better.
• 3 place the marinated meat in your handy-dandy dehydrator. if you don't have one, you can use your oven set at about 170ºf, 80ºc. dry the meat strips for as long as it takes - usually about 12 -18 hours.
