Mix together all the marinade ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.
Place the thinly sliced meat in a plastic bag. Add the marinade, toss to coat well, and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
Set the air fryer to the Dehydrate setting. Adjust the temperature to 150°F (65°C) and set the timer for 4-5 hours.
Remove the beef from the marinade and strain off any excess liquid. Place each slice of beef in the air fryer, making sure they are not overlapping.
Start checking the beef jerky after 4 hours. If the texture is too tender, continue air frying until the desired texture is achieved. Once done, remove from the air fryer and enjoy your homemade short ribs beef jerky! I recommend slicing the jerky into cubes.
Notes
Note: While these ingredients are technically not part of the carnivore diet, we are only using them in small amounts for added flavor. We are washing most of it just before dehydrating the meat. For those who are not following a 100% strict carnivore diet, it shouldn’t be a problem.
