• 1 lb (500g)  beef eye of round or chicken or salmon or tofu  
• 7 ml (1 tsp)  salt 
•  Pepper 
• 30 ml (2 tbsp)  maple sugar
• 2  garlic gloves
• 60 ml (1/4 cup)  tamarin sauce or soya sauce 
• 30 ml (2 tbsp)  Worcestershire sauce
• 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp)  cayenne pepper 
•  wooden bamboo picks

1. Mix well all marinade ingredients and add the meat. Place entire mixture with meat into a sealed plastic container and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.

2. In the oven, place one oven rack on the highest rack setting and one rack on the lowest setting. Place a baking sheet on the lowest rack, to catch any drippings.

3. Preheat oven to 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

4. Insert a wooden bamboo picks ( like the one used for kebabs) through the end of each slice of meat, and suspend each slice from the top rack in the oven, using the picks as a support.

5. Bake at 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) with the oven door propped open to allow moisture to escape. Bake for 2-3 hours depending on thickness of slices. Jerky should bend, and not snap.
