How to Make It
Step 1
Slice the beef round into half inch thick slices. Cut each of these slices into strips, roughly 3/4 inch wide. Add the sliced beef strips to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the maple-flavored syrup, olive oil, thyme, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the bowl with the beef. Use your hands to mix well, coating the beef evenly in the seasonings. At this stage, you may add or adjust the seasonings to personal tastes. Cover the beef and refrigerate for one hour to marinate. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large shallow oven tray with baking paper.
Step 3
Arrange the marinated beef strips in an even layer across the prepared oven tray. Ensure the strips are evenly spaced out and do not overlap. This will allow for even cooking throughout. Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 1 hour. Remove the oven from the tray and carefully turn each beef strip over. Return to the oven and bake for a further hour and a half, or until the jerky is chewy and at your desired consistency. You may bake for longer if you prefer a firmer texture.
