DAD'S BEEF JERKY MARINADE

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.

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.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time P1DT12h

Yield 2 Packages, 20-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 lbs chuck, roasts
1 (18 ounce) bottle allegro seasoning and marinade
crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Cut roasts into strips.
  • Put into a ziploc bag and marinade for 24 hours.
  • Place either into dehydrator or foil bottomed cookie sheet in oven on 200 degrees.
  • Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
  • Cook on high in dehydrator for 12 hours or in oven with door cracked for 12 hours.
  • In winter chuck roasts can be substituted for Vension Roasts for added treat.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, top round, or eye of round are all good options for jerky.
  • Slice the beef against the grain: This will help the jerky to be more tender.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your jerky its flavor, so make sure to use a recipe that you like. Experiment with different ingredients to find your perfect flavor.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 12 hours: This will give the marinade time to penetrate the beef and infuse it with flavor.
  • Dehydrate the beef at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the jerky from becoming tough. The ideal temperature for dehydrating jerky is between 145°F and 165°F.
  • Store the jerky properly: Once the jerky is dehydrated, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Jerky can be stored for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Making jerky is a great way to preserve beef and create a delicious snack. With a little time and effort, you can make jerky that is just as good as, if not better than, store-bought jerky. Experiment with different recipes and techniques to find the perfect jerky for you.
