Homemade beef jerky hits differently when you know exactly what went into it, and this marinade is genuinely something special. Coconut aminos bring that deep, savory umami punch you want without any of the murky ingredient lists you find on store-bought jerky bags, where hidden additives can be a real concern. The combination of apple cider vinegar, honey, fresh garlic, grated ginger, and a whisper of turmeric builds layers of flavor that soak into every strip during that long, slow refrigerator marinade. Partially freezing the beef before slicing is a clever trick that makes getting those thin, even strips almost effortless, and the low-and-slow oven method does the rest of the work for you. You end up with jerky that's deeply browned, satisfyingly chewy, and packed with bold, slightly sweet heat in every bite. It keeps well at room temperature, in the fridge, or in the freezer, so you can make a big batch and snack on it for weeks.

Place the flank steak in the freezer for 30ā45 minutes, until it is firm but not frozen solid ā this makes slicing much easier. Using a sharp knife, slice the beef against the grain into strips about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Pat the strips dry with paper towels.
In a zip-top bag or shallow dish, whisk together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, turmeric, onion powder, salt, and Ceylon cinnamon, if using, until combined.
