Let us know the ingredients you need for this:

·       Meat or Meat Strips- 1 lb (lean portions)

·       Honey- half a cup

·       Ketchup- half a cup

·       Butter- one-fourth of a cup

·       Dijon mustard- 1 teaspoon

·       Vinegar- 1 tablespoon

·       Brown sugar- 2 tablespoon

·       Soy sauce- 1 tablespoon

·       Garlic- 1 clove (grated)

·       Chili powder- according to your taste.

Preparation Method:

·       Cut the meat into thin slices. However, if you do not wish to do this, you could order beef jerky strips from some store, which could even contain some flavors.

·       Take a bowl and combine all the ingredients well. Put the meat strips in the marinade and let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for just a few minutes (refrigerating it before is an optional step).

·       Take the ingredients out and let them sit in the open till they reach the room temperature.

·       Simmer them in a pan for about 5 minutes. Allow it to cool after this.

·       Take a container and keep the meat about 3 to 4 layer deep in it. As you spread the layer, spoon a mixture of sauce over each layer

·       Cover this container tightly and transfer it to the refrigerator again, this time keeping it for about 6 to 12 hours and turning it occasionally.

·       Remove it from the refrigerator and transfer it to a dehydrator. This container with the meat is kept in the dehydrator for about 24 to 36 hours.

Once done, take this out and allow it to cool at room temperature. And here it is, your self-prepared honey barbeque jerky that is too tempting to resist. You could transfer it to an airtight container and keep it for some days.

This modified form of South African beef jerky is enough to drive you crazy with its taste.
