SIMPLE MANGO HABANERO MARINADE

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until it is liquid. Taste and make sure it's desired spiciness -- if it is too spicy, add in 1/4 cup more brown sugar.
• Refrigerate until ready to use. It gives meat a great flavor after about 45 minutes, but the longer the meat being used can be marinated, the better!

THE ULTIMATE BEEF JERKY RECIPE

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 blender and blend until the peppers have been chopped into very small pieces. Place 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.
• Add sliced beef to the mixture in the ziplock bag or bowl and marinate for 8-24 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.
• Load dehydrator trays with jerky strips leaving room for air to circulate I used my Excalibur Dehydrator and dried for 3 hours at 165°F and 1 hour at 145°F
• The jerky is finished when it bends and cracks, but does not break in half.
