Homemade Beef Jerky Smoky and Savory Homemade Beef Jerky Ingredients: 2 lbs lean beef (top round or flank steak), thinly sliced 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat) 1 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional for added smoky flavor) Directions: Slice the beef into thin, uniform strips (freeze the meat for 30–60 minutes first to make slicing easier). In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and liquid smoke. Stir to mix well. Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Preheat your oven to 175°F (80°C) and line two baking sheets with foil. Place a wire rack on each sheet. Lay the beef strips in a single layer across the wire racks, leaving space between each piece. Bake for 3–4 hours, flipping once halfway through, until the jerky is dry and firm but still slightly pliable. Let the jerky cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.

Homemade Sushi Rolls Delicious and Fresh Homemade Sushi Rolls with Assorted Fillings Ingredients: 2 cups sushi rice 2 1/2 cups water 1/3 cup rice vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 10 sheets nori (seaweed) 1/2 pound fresh sushi-grade raw fish (salmon, tuna, or preferred) thinly sliced 1 cucumber, julienned 1 avocado, sliced 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional) Soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi for serving Directions: Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to package instructions. In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour the mixture over cooked rice and gently fold to combine. Let cool to room temperature. Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay one sheet of nori on top. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge. Arrange your choice of fillings (fish, cucumber, avocado, and a drizzle of mayonnaise if using) in a line along the bottom edge of the rice. Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly from the bottom to the top, pressing gently to form a firm roll. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
