Nutmeg Free Orange-Garlic Beef Jerky

Chewy, savory, and packed with bright citrus heat, this homemade beef jerky is the kind of snack that disappears fast. The marinade layers fresh orange juice and zest with coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a touch of honey for a flavor that's bold without being one-dimensional. A hint of turmeric rounds everything out with warmth and a gorgeous deep color on the finished strips. Store-bought jerky often hides a surprising number of spices and seasonings in the ingredient list, so making your own means you know exactly what went into every bite — and this recipe keeps things clean and straightforward. Partially freezing the steak before slicing is a smart trick that makes getting those thin, even strips much easier, and the long overnight marinade ensures the flavor goes all the way through. Low-and-slow oven drying does the rest of the work, leaving you with deeply browned, satisfying jerky that stores well in the fridge or freezer for whenever a craving hits.
