Spicy Peppered Beef Jerky

• 1 cup Coca-Cola (Regular)
• 1/2 cup soy sauce (Low-Sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
• 1/2 cup rice vinegar (Not Seasoned)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (Pure Syurp)
• 1 tablespoon fine sea salt
• 8 tablespoons ground black pepper (Fine)
• 3 bay leaves
• 2 chipotle chiles (Chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
• 1/2 cup onion (Fine Diced)
• 1 teaspoon ground red pepper (Fine)
• 6 whole black peppercorns
• 2 fresh garlic cloves (Chopped)
• 2 lbs beef sirloin steaks (Boneless)

1. In a saucepan whisk coca cola, soy sauce, L & Perrins, rice vinegar, maple syrup, fine sea salt, 2-tablespoons fine black pepper and bay leaves. Bring to a full boil, reduce to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until you have 1 cup of sauce.
2. Add chilies, 1-tablespoon chili sauce, Hungarian paprika, onions, red pepper, black peppercorns, garlic and whisk sauce to combine. Remove from heat, place in a container, cover with plastic and chill.
3. Trim excess fat from steak and place into a pie pan. Freeze for 10-15 minutes and slice into thin strips.
4. Place strips into a large plastic bag, add sauce, remove air from bag and seal. Marinate beef strips for 2-3 days. Turn bag over once a day to marinate steak evenly.
5. Pre-heat oven to 350u0b0F, place oven rack in lower position and reduce oven to 200 F degrees.
6. Line sheet pans with parchment paper, spread beef strips out and dust with remaining fine black pepper.
7. Bake for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
8. Chef's Note: Use Chiloptle Chilies from a can with sauce. Use Pure Maple Syurp and regular Coca Cola.
