I never got around to making jerky until we had to move house and I lost my curing chamber....now my stash of cured stuff is all but gone i figured I give jerky a try...
After reading this forum until my eyes bled...i decided on Nepas' Teriyaki recipe using top round...
Partially frozen and hand sliced...
marinating in Nepas' mix...with cure #1
As Sponge Bob would say...24 hours later....racked and ready for the MES30
And smokin....
1 hour no smoke...ramped temp up to 160F over 5 hrs over mesquite in the AMPTS...and it was ready.
All in all pretty tasty for a first shot.
I think the mesquite it a little heavy and I might pull it a little earlier next time...it was a little dry for me. The neighbor thought it was awesome..i'm coming from a dry aged meat background so it was a little chewy. Definitely room for more practice.
Nepas' marinade was excellent and will be my teriyaki go to. Looking forward to trying some other flavors.
Thanks for looking.
Smoke on!
