Air Fryer Beef Jerky
My easy air fryer beef jerky is so much better than the store-bought kind! I use just 2 ingredients and let the air fryer do all the work for flavor-packed, chewy jerky that's perfect for snacking.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak thinly sliced, ¼-inch thick
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
Instructions
- Place the steak strips in a plastic zipper bag with the teriyaki sauce. Massage the sauce around the beef to ensure it’s evenly coated, then place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate the beef for 24-48 hours.
- When ready to cook, remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Place the beef pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry it at 200 degrees F for 2 hours, flipping it halfway, checking to see if it’s completely dehydrated and at 160 degrees F. If not, continue to air fry at 15 minute intervals until it is.
- Allow the jerky to cool, then store it in an airtight container.
Notes
I store my air fryer beef jerky in airtight containers once it's completely cooled. It keeps well at room temperature for about a week, but it stays fresh longer in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Just make sure the container is sealed tight!
For the best texture, marinate the beef for the full 48 hours and always slice against the grain.
