6 servings
For the beef
- 1 ½ lb flank steak or top round, trimmed of visible fat
For the marinade
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
Chef's tipSoy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust. - 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the steak in the freezer for 30–45 minutes until firm but not frozen solid — this makes slicing much easier. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the beef against the grain into strips about 1/8-inch (3mm) thick. For chewier jerky, slice with the grain.

In a large zip-top bag or airtight container, whisk together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne, if using, until combined.
