Celery Free Orange-Garlic Beef Jerky

Bright citrus, punchy garlic, and a deep savory backbone make this homemade beef jerky genuinely hard to stop eating. The marinade leans on fresh orange juice and zest, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and a hit of ginger and turmeric — bold flavors that soak into every strip overnight for maximum payoff. Flank steak or top round gets sliced thin after a quick freeze, which is a small trick that makes a real difference in getting those clean, even cuts. Every ingredient in the marinade is naturally free of celery and celery derivatives, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden plant extracts the way you might with store-bought jerky seasonings and marinades. The low-and-slow oven method does all the heavy lifting — just flip once and let the heat work until the strips are deeply browned and perfectly chewy. Cooling the jerky completely before sealing it up keeps the texture right, and it stores well in the fridge or freezer so you can make a big batch and snack on it for weeks.
