I thought I would share a very simple paleo beef jerky recipe with you. I know many paleo folks out there are scratching their heads trying to figure out how to make beef jerky that conforms to the Paleolithic diet guidelines.

So no need to scratch heads anymore. The paleo beef jerky recipe described below should get you sorted. Just follow the step-by-step directions and remember to buy the leanest meat cut possible.

Okay, to make the beef jerky, you’re going to need the following ingredients:

2 lbs lean beef sliced into strips approximately ¼ in size

Half a teaspoon of Basil
Half a teaspoon of Dried Marjoram
Half a teaspoon of Ground Black Pepper
Half a teaspoon of Ground Oregano
Half a teaspoon of Thyme
Half a teaspoon of Garlic Salt
Half a teaspoon of Onion Salt
Half a teaspoon of Sea Salt

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Paleo Beef Jerky Recipe

Step 1: Place all spice ingredients in a clean bowl. Make sure to combine them well.

Step 2: Arrange lean beef strips on an extra thick square cutting board or a flat surface.
Sprinkle about half of the spice ingredients over the beef strips. Now grab a meat pounder or hammer and start pounding the ingredients to ensure they infuse nicely with the beef strips.

Step 3: Once you’ve done pounding the ingredients into one side of the strips, turn them over so you can start working on the other side. Repeat step 2 with the other side. Sprinkle the spices and pound away!

Step 4: Line your oven tray with baking foil and arrange the beef strips on it. Pop tray in the oven and make sure you set the oven on the lowest temperature. Also make sure the oven door is propped open to release moisture.

Step 5: Allow the beef strips to dry out for around six to eight hours. Once dry, you have to turn the strips over and allow the other side dry out for another six to eight hours. They’ll take some time to dry out depending on the beef thickness and also your oven temperature. You decide when they’re one hundred percent dried, and if you think the strips are all well, good and ready, go grab an airtight container.

Step 6: Store the beef jerky in the airtight container or munch some if you like. If you store the beef jerky in an airtight container, they’ll last for several months as the various types of salt we used earlier will ensure their longevity.
