Teriyaki Beef Jerky

Ingredients:
2 pounds (907 g) flank steak
2 cups (473 ml) pineapple juice
1 bottle (15 ounces/444 ml) soy sauce
1 1/2 cups (355 ml) packed light brown sugar
1 cup (237 ml) rice vinegar
6 large garlic cloves, halved
2 small dried red chilis, halved
Directions:
1. Place beef in a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for 1 hour
or until firm enough to slice easily.

dissolved.
3. Remove beef from freezer and slice against the grain into
1/4-inch-thick (0.6-cm) slices.

covered with marinade.
5. Close bag and refrigerate 8 to 12 hours.
6. Drain and discard marinade. Pat all slices of beef with paper
towels.
