The Best Teriyaki Beef Jerky Food

THE BEST TERIYAKI BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• Flash freeze beef for 20 minutes on cookie sheet during ingredient mixture.
• Mix ingredients in extra large bowl with whisk until completely blended.
• If beef is more than one inch thick, slice across to create equal thickness.
• Cut beef between 1/8 - 1/ 4 inch thick slices, in addition to trimming as much fat off the meat as possible.
• Incorporate beef into ingredients to cover.
• Marinate beef overnight.
• Pat dry beef slices and skewer beef onto bamboo, ensuring small space between slices for thorough dryness and leaving one inch on each end.
• Hang beef skewers across oven rack so beef hangs freely.
• Cover entire oven rack with skewers of meat.
• Place aluminum foil on oven rack #2 at very bottom of oven to help catch drippings.
• Set oven to lowest temperature (170 degrees in my case) and leave door ajar on hinge, letting beef sit for approximately 5-6 hours or until dry.
• Check beef a few times throughout to ensure it is not actually baking, but simply drying out.
• Once finished,
• Let beef skewers rest for 10 minutes after drying, and then remove skewers from oven rack and let sit on tray until cool.
• Remove beef strips from skewers and store them in an airtight container.

TERIYAKI BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• Mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl.
• Place pineapple and garlic in a food processor or blender; process until smooth. Pour pineapple mixture and teriyaki mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Add beef, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat smoker to 225 to 250 degrees F (110 to 120 degrees C). Drain beef and discard marinade.
• Smoke beef in the preheated smoker until jerky is dry and chewy but not crispy, 6 to 8 hours. Store jerky in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Slice the meat into ⅛ - ¼ inch thick pieces, removing as much visible fat as possible. Place in a large zip-top bag and set aside.
• Mix the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, minced ginger & garlic, salt, and Prague powder, if using, in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves. Pour into the zip top bag with the meat, taking care to ensure that the meat is evenly coated. Place in the fridge to marinate 12-24 hours.
• After the meat has marinated, place the strips onto your dehydrator trays. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Dehydrate at 160F for 4-6 hours, until the meat has dried. The general rule of thumb is if you bend a piece and it cracks, it's done - if you bend a piece and it breaks it's been cooked too long.
• Remove from the dehydrator and set aside to cool completely before sealing in a bag or tupperware.
• Jerky that has been marinated with Prague powder or Instacure will last a few weeks in a sealed bag at room temperature. Jerky marinated without any cure will last two weeks in your fridge.

BISHOP'S TERIYAKI BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• Add all wet/dry ingredients into a small saucepan. Heat to boiling while whisking ingredients to blend. While marinade cools, cut sliced carne asada meat into 4 inch strips. Should be no more than 1/4 inch thick.
• Marinade meat strips for 12+ hours.
• Lay marinated meat strips on dehydrating trays of your dehydrator unit, following manufacturer's directions to complete.
• For oven drying, hang marinated meat strips from top rack of oven using bamboo skewers. Cover bottom rack with aluminum foil to catch drippings. Dry in oven at lowest setting (~170º propping door open slightly to release moisture) for 5-8 hours. Check meat now and then to ensure proper drying. Meat should be dried and flexible to bend in half without breaking. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place all dry ingredients in to a glass bowl. Add liquids and blend until salt is dissolved. Place meat in a glass bowl. Cover meat and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Remove from refrigerator, and pat meat with paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place in dehydrator for 4-8 hours depending on the amount of racks. Every hour turn racks. Turn strips halfway in to drying time and continues drying. To test doneness, fold a strip in half. It should be pliable enough to bend without breaking and should show no signs of redness.

TERIYAKI JERKY

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, except meat and Coke.
• Whisk well together and pour into ziplock bag. Take meat either to a meat shop, or slice yourself, against the grain (makes it more tender) in 1/4 to 1/2 inches. Add all meat in with the marinade.
• Finally add the coke. Mix together, making sure all the meat is coated. Open up and let all the air out and seal again.
• Let marinate between 8 hours to 16 hours. I usually mix mine in the morning and let it sit for 24 hours.
• Strain meat, and discard juices and bag.
• Place meat on dehydrator trays, side by side (never layer pieces of meat on top of each other) and dehydrate about 8 hours.
• When done, the jerky should have no signs of redness and be pliable enough to bend in half without breaking.
• Bon Appetite!
