Salt and pepper beef jerky recipe

I love to be the one to carve a Sunday beef roast, largely because it gives me nibbling access to the flavorful crusty outer edges. I think of this recipe for basic beef jerky as a way to re-create that chewy, slightly spicy, delicious part of the roast. Good old-fashioned garlic powder, salt, pepper, and bit of smoky paprika make for a wonderful seasoning combination that lends a bit of Sunday roast appeal even when you’re trekking along a rugged trail or satisfying an afternoon snack craving.
