BIGMAN'S SPICY BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients well. Cut meat into 1/4" to 1/2" thick pieces. Throw everything into a ziploc bag and place in refrigerator overnight.
• Place on dehydrator rack for at least 12 hours or until jerky looks dry or is slightly crispy. The sambal and garlic will dry onto the jerky pieces, adding a lot of delicious flavor.

SPICY PEPPERED BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• In a saucepan whisk coca cola, soy sauce, L & Perrins, rice vinegar, maple syrup, fine sea salt, 2-tablespoons fine black pepper and bay leaves. Bring to a full boil, reduce to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until you have 1 cup of sauce.
• Add chilies, 1-tablespoon chili sauce, Hungarian paprika, onions, red pepper, black peppercorns, garlic and whisk sauce to combine. Remove from heat, place in a container, cover with plastic and chill.
• Trim excess fat from steak and place into a pie pan. Freeze for 10-15 minutes and slice into thin strips.
• Place strips into a large plastic bag, add sauce, remove air from bag and seal. Marinate beef strips for 2-3 days. Turn bag over once a day to marinate steak evenly.
• Pre-heat oven to 350°F, place oven rack in lower position and reduce oven to 200 F degrees.
• Line sheet pans with parchment paper, spread beef strips out and dust with remaining fine black pepper.
• Bake for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
• Chef's Note: Use Chiloptle Chilies from a can with sauce. Use Pure Maple Syurp and regular Coca Cola.

SPICY BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• Whisk together soy sauce, hot water, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, Creole seasoning, and Cajun seasoning in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute; stir well. Add beef and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours or overnight. Remove meat from marinade and rinse with hot water.
• Preheat oven to 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place a pan on the bottom of oven to catch drips.
• Place meat strips on a rack about 1 inch apart from each other; dehydrate in the oven for 5 to 6 hours, or until desired consistency is achieved.

SPICY BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• Place the meat in the freezer for an hour or so, until it is very firm—but not frozen—to make slicing easier.
• With a long, sharp knife, cut the meat into diagonal slices less than 1/4 inch thick.
• Lay the slices flat in a large glass or enamel baking dish.
• Combine the red wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, garlic, chili sauce and garlic.
• Pour over the meat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for about 4 hours (overnight works best), turning the slices several times to coat.
• Remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with absorbent paper towels.
• Arrange the slices in a single layer on wire racks (such as those used for cooling cakes and cookies) and set the racks on foil-covered baking sheets (to catch the drips).
• Place in a 175º oven for about 2 or 3 hours, until dry and dark brown, but still pliable.
• Watch it closely; during the last half hour or so the meat can burn quickly.
• Let cool completely, then store airtight.
