Spicy Beef Jerky

1.5 pounds flank steak or London broil

Marinade:

1 cup beef broth

¼ cup salt

¼ cup molasses

¾ cup brown sugar

¼ cup honey

2 tsps garlic powder

2 tsp chipotle powder

2 tsp cayenne pepper

1.      Mix all marinade ingredients together

2.      Cut meat into ¼ inch slices with the grain

3.      Put sliced meat into large Ziploc bag and pour marinade over the meat.

4.      Seal Ziploc bag so that all the meat is covered

5.      Marinade for at least 24 hours
