Keto Beef Jerky Recipe

Homemade keto beef jerky is the perfect low-carb, high-protein snack! This easy recipe uses simple ingredients, no added sugar, and delivers a flavorful, chewy treat perfect for the keto diet.

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb top round or bottom round beef, thinly sliced (1/8 inch thick)
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos for soy-free)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (check for low-carb brands)
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
  • 12 tbsp keto sweetener (like erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)

 

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef thinly against or with the grain, depending on your desired texture.
  2. Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl until the sweetener dissolves.
  3. Add the beef slices to the marinade, ensuring they’re fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 170°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lay the beef slices on the rack in a single layer. Leave the oven door slightly open to release moisture and cook for 4-6 hours, flipping halfway.
    Dehydrator Method: Arrange beef slices on dehydrator trays, leaving space between them. Set the dehydrator to 160°F and dry for 4-6 hours.
  5. Check for doneness. The jerky should be firm, bendable, and not snap when cooled.

 

Notes

  • For easier slicing, freeze the beef for 1-2 hours before cutting.
  • Store jerky in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 1 month.
