If using fresh fresh purchased meat, freeze partially for easy slicing.

Slice meat approximately 1/8 inch thickness.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together liquid smoke, soy sauce, sesame oil, tempura dipping sauce, minced garlic, garlic powder, brown sugar, pancake syrup and black pepper, mix well to blend using a whisk.

Add beer to mixture and mix gently using a spoon.

Place sliced meat into marinade and marinate for at least 2 hours and even up to 4 hours.

Place marinated slices on trays in dehydrator.

If desired, sprinkle with additional black pepper to suit your own taste.

The length of time to dehydrate depends on the type of a unit you are using.

There are units available that have a built-in fan and this reduces the time by almost 50%.

Generally, the time for dehydration will be from 6 hours to 16 hours.

Turn the strips of jerky over and change the trays to a different level.

Continue to dehydrate until slices are crispy, chewy and to your liking.

Cool and store in glass containers with lid.
