Beef Jerky Recipes
 

Just ate a Slim Jim and that thing tasted like crap. Now I have the itch for some homemade beef jerky. Somebody here has to have mastered the art of jerky making........ Let's see some recipes!

they sell a kit at cabela's high country or something like that. It is the best ive found ive tryed several different things making my own and stuff. got tired of messing up meat this is where i ended up.

I have the bomb of all recipes but its at the house. Ill try to remember it n post it. It's worse than crack.

Beef Jerky
2# lean beef or deer
1 t onion powder
1 t liquid smoke
1 t garlic powder
1 t lemon pepper
1/2 c soy sauce
1/4 c Lea & Perrins
4 Shakes Tabasco

Trim all fat from meat. Slice in 1/8th inch strips. Mix all ingredients and marinate meat for 12 to 24 hours. Drin meat well. Pat dry. Season with fresh cracked black pepper. Place on a pan with a rack and dry in oven at 155 degrees for 8 to 12 hours. Leave oven door cracked open. Or dry in a dehydrator.
If you like a teriyaki style omit soy and L&P and use 1c teriyaki sauce. instead.
This is the best I have made. I played around and came up with this recipe.

saute86 you don't use curing salt? I usually like to use the Jerky kit from Cabela's. It works well for me and it has all the ingredients already in it. I also get seasoning from South Africans that work with me. We make Biltongue here at work and they taught me to soak the meat over night in viniger first. Then we put the seasoning on the meat and let it sit over night again before we dry it. The difference between Biltongue and our Jerky is the size of the meat. They leave it in wide, thick strips and the inside is still kinda chewy when it's finished. We've built a dehydrator from an old fire extengisher box and use dry instrument air to dry the meat. Works well but slow. The big strips they cut take 3 days to dry.

The soy sauce will brine the meat over night. Heating the meat to 155 degrees kills any bacteria in the meat also.

That's very similar to my recipe. Minus the lemon

Google "biltong box" better than jerky in my opinion. Goooooood stuff.

Get the meat to where it is almost frozen and makes it so much easier to cut in thin strips. I just soak mine in dales steak seasoning and soy sauce over night. Then before i put it on the grill i add my tonys put it on the grill and smoke it for about an hour or two. Doesnt take long at all forcit to soak up the smoke flavor then put it in the dehydrator
