Jerky

[wiggles]

There are thousands of different styles and recipes for jerky. What is your favorite recipe? I've made my own marinade/ mix of spices for years. Just lookin to try something new.

I slice all my Jerky. I just dont like the ground method.

1 Cup of Soy Sauce.
1/2 Cup of Dales or Moores.
1 Ounce of Liquid Smoke.
Table spoon of Salt and Pepper.
1/2 table spoonful of Garlic and Onion Podwer (or not)
I also, on occasions, add some sweet red wine. 1/2 cup

Warm a pot and mix all of it together. Dont boil. Let it cool all the way down.
I lay all the slices out in a plastic pan and pour the mix over it.
I usually put the batch together at night and in the morning stir it all up. That night, I throw it on the dehydrator and pepper over the top of the slices.... 5-6 hours.

The guys at work and other people love it but I too want to try out a few other mixes. Post yours. Maybe a few others will too.

Sportsmans Whse has a jerky kit ( High Mountain jerky) with the cure and several different flavors. Just get your favorite meat (mine is eye of round roast) cut it how you like and follow the instructions.
It's easy and consistant. I do mine on a dehydrator.

I've used the stuff that dragfish is talkin about in the "original" flavor. I like it. Put your meat in the freezer until it gets almost frozen before you slice it. It makes it much easier to slice.

I like heavy brown sugar and dr.pepper to soak the meat in along with your salt/ based cure. When I dehydrate or Smoke the meat, I sprinkle crushed red pepper. it produces a sweet/heat flavor. But, what I don't like about jerky is you spend 48 hours turning a cinder block of meat into a zip lock bag of meat that your buddies will consume in 10 minutes. I usually make steaks/ cube steak and other "table cuts" with my venison.

 

[Buoy-Master]

Your right about that being GONE in 10 minutes!!!

 

[dragfish]

Yeah-ticks me off to see someone chomp on a piece and swallow it after 3 seconds! You're supposed to savor it for awhile like Clint Eastwood in his cowboy movies.
That's why I quit marinating mine and went to a cure mix-you swallow that too soon and you won't even need toilet paper! emoEek
