For snackers who love a savoury chew with a kick, this homemade jerky is worth the wait. Thin strips of steak soak up a bold Asian-inspired marinade of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sherry, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes, then slowly dry in a low oven until intensely flavourful. The reward is a protein-packed, deeply seasoned treat that beats anything from the corner-store rack.
