    In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together all ingredients except the beef. Then place the marinade and beef in a large resealable plastic bag. Massage the outside of the bag to work the marinade over all parts of the beef, then place the bag in the refrigerator for 8 hours to marinate.

  • Step 2

    To install the grill grate, position it flat on top of the heating element and gently press down until it sits into place.

  • Step 3

    Remove the beef from the marinade and discard excess liquid. Place the beef in a flat single layer in the Air Crisp Basket. Then place the basket on the grill grate and close the hood.

  • Step 4

    While holding the smoke box lid open, use the pellet scoop to pour pellets into the smoke box until filled to the top. Then close the smoke box lid.

  • Step 5

    Turn dial to DEHYDRATE, set the temperature to 165°F, and set time to 6 hours. Press WOODFIRE FLAVOR. Select START/STOP to begin cooking (preheating is not needed).

  • Step 6

    Begin to check the beef jerky after 4 hours. If a crispier output is desired, continue to cook.

  • Step 7

    When cooking is complete, open hood and remove basket with beef jerky. Beef jerky can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
