Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of dark soy
- 1/4 teaspoon of powdered ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon of Chinese five-spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of Onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of MSG (optional)
- 3 lb of beef (or any meat type)
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
- Cut meat into consistent strips about 1/4" thick (click here to read about the importance of meat thickness consistency).
- Mix all of the other ingredients thoroughly, put the mix with the meat inside of a sealed bag or plastic container with a lid. Let this marinade in the refrigerator for 4-24 hours...longer is better.
- Pull the meat out and lay it out on racks (click here to read about different racking methods for making beef jerky) without pieces touching.
- Dehydrate/bake/smoke in your equipment of choice at 160-180F (depending on your equipment's capabilities) or until your desired texture is reached. (Click here for more information about the different methods to make jerky at home)
- Once your desired texture is reached, let your jerky 'rest' until it reaches room temperature. At this point, it has reached it's final texture and is ready for consumption and packaging.

I have made a lot of jerky but mostly commercial mixes. Looking very much to trying your recipe. Thanks for sharing.
This sounds delicious! You had me at Chinese Five Spice, my favorite spice. I canât wait to smell my kitchen.
Great marinade, I like to add Sriracha Sause(1/2 oz) and 1onion fine chopped.
Smoke 4 hours with pecan at 180 degrees. Very good.
A very good tasty marinade, I have tried this recipe three times now, one adding some chilli, and another more garlic, just extra ideas, but basically a great marinade!
