BEEF JERKY STEW (REALLY A SOUP)

Steps:

• Bring the four cups of water to a boil in a medium sized pot.
• Add meat. Boil till slightly brown.
• Add veggies and spices/seasoning.
• Bring to low boil and occasionally stir everynow and then.
• Your stew/soup will be ready shortly after your veggies start to soften up a bit. I like mine to have a bit of a crunch to them so it doesnt take long at all. Let cook to prefference of veggies and enjoy.

THAI BEEF JERKY (NUA SAWAN)

Steps:

• Slice beef across the grain 2"X 3" in size and 1/4" thick.
• Roast coriander and cumin seeds in a fry pan over low heat until fragrant, cool, and grind coarsely in a mortar or a spice grinder.
• Combine beef and the rest of the ingredients and marinade 1 hour.
• Place beef pieces on a cake rack sprayed with Pam and put the rack in a foil lined cookie sheet large enough to catch any liquid dripping from the beef.
• Place the cookie sheet in a lowest setting oven until the beef pieces are dry to the touch and no liquid seep out when pressed (between 6-12 hours depending on the oven).
• Over medium-low heat, heat the oil in a flat-bottomed fry pan and drop the beef in 5-6 pieces at a time. Fry until crispy on the outside and around the edges.
• Drain on a cake rack over paper towels.
• Keeps up to 1 week in an airtight container at room temperature. Serve alone or with cooked sticky rice.
• NOTE: Tenderize beef lightly with a mallet if using other cuts of beef. Be sure to drain the oil well. Any excess may become rancid. Cool completely before storing.

BEEF JERKY - W30

Steps:

• Partially freeze the meat - 2 to 4 hours, so that you can slice it super thin. When it's all nice and frosty, slice your hunk o' meat into nice thin strips - and remove all the fat. I didn't do that the first time and the results were gross! The fat doesn't dry out, it just gets kind of squidgy and gelatinous. Bleck!
• Place the coconut aminos and all other remaining ingredients in a large zip-lock bag. Add in the meat. Shake and smoosh to completely soak the meat. Place the bag in the fridge and marinate for 2-24 hours - longer is better.
• Place the marinated meat in your handy-dandy dehydrator. If you don't have one, you can use your oven set at about 170ºF, 80ºC. Dry the meat strips for as long as it takes - usually about 12 -18 hours.

Steps:

• In stockpot add boiling water and jerky.
• Let set 15 minutes. Take out of water and cut in small pieces. Return to pot.Heat on low setting.
• In frying pan, add lard or oil, add rice and onions and salt. Brown the rice and cook the onion until slightly browned. Add tomatoes and chili pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes. Add all ingredients to stockpot.
• Simmer about 15 minutes until rice is cooked. Take out whole chili pepper before serving. There should be enough salt in the jerky so you do not need to add except for the 1/2 tsp of salt called for in the recipe. Serve with tortilla chips.

BEEF STEW/SOUP

Steps:

• ***If possible season the meat with salt, pepper, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika and cover in the fridge overnight. Otherwise still season the meat to your liking and go ahead.
• Start by heating the pot to medium-high heat.
• Add olive oil and fry onions 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
• Add the carrots, celery, and peppers and let them cook for at least 8-10 minutes. (The celery should start to get soft but not mushy and the onions will look translucent).
• Add the garlic and chopped herbs (if using fresh thyme and rosemary).
• Cook for another minute or two.
• Add the meat and potatoes and stir until the meat loses the raw look.
• Add the paprika (hold back on adding any salt until after you ad the stock since they can be salty at times).
• Add the beef or chicken stock (you need just enough to cover the meat and vegetables. If more is required you can always mix a stock cube in water and add to pot).
• Add the tomato paste and let it all come to a boil, reducing the heat to allow it to simmer.
• Let it cook for half an hour or until the potatoes become soft and allow for the soup/stew to thicken up.

BEEF JERKY BILTONG FLAVOURING

Steps:

• Slice the meat into 1 cm thick slices about an inch wide.
• Place a layer of meat in a plastic container and sprinkle lightly with the vinegar.
• Sprinkle the spices over the top of the meat without completely drowning it.
• Place another layer of meat on top of the first and repeat the vinegar and spices steps until all the meat is used up.
• Leave in the fridge for 3 hours
• Remove and mix it all up thoroughly so that all the spices are evenly spread through the meat.
• Drain any excess fluids from the container and return to the fridge for a further three hours. The longer it stays in the fridge the stronger the spice flavours become.
• Remove and place in your dehydrator until dried to your satisfaction. (12 to 24 hours in my dehydrator).
