====== Root beer jerky ======
===== Ingredients =====
  * 3 cups root beer
  * 1/3 cup soy sauce
  * 1 tsp chipotle powder
  * 1 tsp paprika
  * 1 tsp granulated garlic
  * 1/4 tsp liquid hickory smoke
  * 1 lb London broil strips, or other lean beef strips

===== Instructions =====
  - Mix all ingredients except the meat into a saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Cook until the mixture reduces by half, 15--20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  - Pour the marinade into a 1-gallon freezer bag and add the meat strips. Mix the strips around so they get completely coated in marinade.
  - Remove as much air as possible from the bag, seal, and refrigerate for 4 hours. Periodically remove the bag and work the meat around to fully incorporate the marinade.
  - Remove the strips from the marinade and arrange in a single layer in a dehydrator. Dry at 158°F for 4--6 hours, or until done. The jerky should be dark and bend without snapping.
