Combine 2 cups of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp of garlic powder, 2 tbsp of onion powder, 1 tbsp of ground black pepper, and 1/4 cup of your favorite hot sauce in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.

Cut 1 lb of lean beef (such as round or sirloin) into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the strips in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top, making sure to coat all of the strips evenly. Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
-
Preheat your oven to 175 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Remove the beef strips from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Arrange the strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to overlap them.
-
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 4-6 hours, or until the jerky is dry and slightly crispy. Check on the jerky every hour or so and rotate the baking sheet for even drying.
-
Once the jerky is finished, let it cool completely before storing in an airtight container. The spicy beef jerky will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. Enjoy!
