SPICY SWEET BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• Trim all visible fat from the beef and place in freezer for an hour or two to partially freeze.
• While the meat is in the freezer, combine marinade ingredients in a bowl or ziplock bag.
• Remove the meat from the freezer and slice ¼" strips against the grain for an easy chew. Cut with the grain for a more chewy jerky. (I did not freeze the jerky since I bought already thinly sliced meat. I sliced the thin meat into 1" wide strips)
• Add sliced beef to the mixture in the ziplock bag or bowl and marinate for 6-24 hours in the refrigerator.
• After the meat has finished marinating, remove from refrigerator and strain excess marinade in a colander and pat dry with paper towels.
• Dry with your Dehydrator, Smoker, or Oven. I used my Excalibur Dehydrator and dried for 4 hours at 165F.
• The jerky is finished when it bends and cracks, but does not break in half.
• Store jerky in air tight containers in a cool, dark, and dry place such as a fridge or cabinet.

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.

SWEET AND SPICY BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• 1. Cut the steak into the desired thickness (roughly 1/8 inch) I buy the top round that is already thin sliced so it saves me a step!
• 2. Mix all of the ingredients into a large bowl (minus the steak) and whisk to combine
• 3. Transfer the strips of steak along with the marinade into a ziplock bag and squeeze out as much air as possible. Massage to combine the marinade into the meat. If you don't have a ziplock, use a large bowl tightly wrapped with cling wrap or foil
• 4. Marinate at least a couple of hours but preferably overnight for best flavor
• 5. When you're ready to dehydrate, take steak out of the bag or bowl, pat it dry (I use hand towels for better absorption and simply wash them after)
• 6. Align strips of steak onto the racks In your dehydrator
• 7. Cook for roughly 6 hours at 160 degrees (Longer time will be needed for thicker sliced steak) there's no need to flip your steak!
• 8. When it's done your jerky should be dry and a little chewy and perfect! It should look something like this

Steps:

• In a small bowl or cup, mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, and some cracked black pepper. Season the meat lightly, using only part of the mixture. Reserve the remaining spices.

Dry for 5 hours, or to your desired dryness.
