Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb Eye of round
1 1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cracked black pepper
2 tsp granulated sugar
2 whole habaneros (3 if extra hot is wanted)
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup cold water
1/4 tsp curing salt (optional)

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.

DOC'S BEST BEEF JERKY



Doc's Best Beef Jerky image

I have been making jerky for years. This is my recipe concocted by trial and error. Everyone who has tried it says it is the 'best jerky' they have ever had! My dehydrator is designed for jerky. It takes me about 4 hours to dry the meat. This could also be done in the oven or using other dehydrators. Please check your manual for correct times as each machine is different. I hope you enjoy this jerky as much as me and my family do.

DAD'S BEEF JERKY MARINADE



Dad's Beef Jerky Marinade image

The recipe as written should be multiplied based on your total meat. I usually make enough marinade based on the pre-trimmed weight of the meat. Preparation time only includes the assembly of the marinade. The trimming of the meat, packaging and drying time will vary based on the cut of meat, amount to be marinaded and the drying method used.

My dad made this one day, and it's definitely a winner! Everyone who has tried this marinade loves it! My husband and I won't eat steak any other way. The amount of ingredients listed is just a very rough estimate. I usually don't measure, just pour!

2 teaspoons olive oil
salt (to taste)

  • Knead spices and oil into the steaks.
  • Repeat on opposite sides.
  • Put steaks in a bowl (I usually use a glass flat baking dish for best results).

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, top round, and bottom round are all good choices for beef jerky.
  • Slice the beef thinly: The thinner the slices, the faster the jerky will dry out.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 6 hours: This will help to tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a dehydrator or oven to dry the jerky: A dehydrator is the best way to dry beef jerky, but you can also use an oven set to the lowest temperature possible.
  • Dry the jerky until it is hard and brittle: This will ensure that it will keep for a long time.
  • Store the jerky in an airtight container: This will help to keep it fresh and prevent it from becoming chewy.

Conclusion:

Making beef jerky at home is a great way to enjoy a delicious and healthy snack. With a little planning and effort, you can create your own custom jerky that is perfect for your taste. So next time you're looking for a protein-packed snack, give beef jerky a try!
