Road trips are fun.
Until everyone gets hungry and turns into monsters.
But stopping for fast food is the worst.
So! Make delicious beef jerky at home and avoid rest stops and gas stations forever.
1. You will need:
2. Put your beef in the freezer to firm it up, then make super-thin slices.
3. Get out the blender to make a marinade.
4. Add chopped jalapeño, garlic, and onion.
5. Blend...
6. Pour the marinade over the beef and let them hang out until they become friends.
7. Seven hours later, it's jerky time. Preheat the oven to 200º F and grind the salt and sesame seeds.
8. Drain your beef and sprinkle it with the salty sesame seed mixture.
9. Bake for 4 hours, until dry and jerky-like.
