Step 1: Slice the Beef

1. Trim excess fat from the beef.
2. Slice into ¼-inch thick strips (slice against the grain for tender jerky).

Step 2: Prepare the Marinade

1. In a bowl, mix Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, honey, onion powder, and chili flakes.
2. Stir until combined.

Step 3: Marinate the Beef

1. Add beef slices to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated.
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight for best flavor).

Step 4: Prepare for Air Frying

1. Remove beef from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Preheat the air fryer to 175°F (80°C).
3. Arrange beef strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Step 5: Cook the Jerky

1. Air fry at 175°F (80°C) for 2 hours.
2. Check for doneness—jerky should be firm, dry, and slightly bendable.
3. If needed, continue air frying in 15–20 minute intervals until fully dried.
4. Ensure the jerky reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 6: Cool & Store

1. Let jerky cool completely before storing.
2. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Refrigerate or freeze for longer storage.
