Easiest Beef Jerky Recipe Ever

I used to make jerky in my oven. It took me about 8 hours or so. I did some research, and now I make it in my air fryer. It only takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes!

1 Flat Iron Beef Steak
1/4 cup or less Dale's Steak Seasoning Marinade*

Cut the steak very thin against the grain. It helps to freeze the steak for a little while to be able to cut it thin. Put the steak strips in a zip top plastic bag. Add the marinade and seal the bag, while pushing air out. Marinade in the refrigerator overnight.

*Be careful and don't add to much marinade. It doesn't take much. If you add to much, it will be too salty. You just need enough to lightly coat the meat.

This is the air fryer that I have. I arranged the slices of streak on the two trays. I turn the fryer on dehydrate at 175 degrees and set it for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Perfect. Simple and Easy!

This recipe made 4 oz. of jerky for $4. 

That's over half the cost of Jack Links,

and it tastes just as good if not better!!!

The original recipe for the oven is still on my blog, find it here.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Cake

1 container of chocolate chip cookie dough

½ cup hot fudge topping

1 quart (4 cups) vanilla ice cream, slightly softened

Chocolate chip cookie pieces

Press cookie dough into a greased and floured 8x8 inch baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. 

Spoon the fudge topping onto the cookie crust. Spoon the ice cream in next. Freeze for at least 2 hours. Before serving remove from the freezer and let sit for about 5 to 10 minutes to soften a little. Place cookie pieces on the cake by pressing them in at an angle. Drizzle chocolate syrup over cake. Cut and serve. Place leftovers in individual plastic containers for a quick treat for the next day or two. (Depending on if you do have any left over!)
