Doing some jerky.

[Steve H]

I haven't done any jerky in quite a while. So on the way home from taking care of a few things yesterday. I stopped at the store and got 5 pounds of London Broil.
These were already cut like steaks. So the prep was easy. Cut in 1/4" slices. And put in 2 one gallon mason jars. I'm not doing the normal high mountain hickory style this time. I'm kind of winging it.
So, for the 5 pounds of meat I mixed up:
1 cup worcestershire sauce
1.5 cups soy sauce
2 cups teriyaki sauce.
3 tsp liquid smoke. This will be oven jerky
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp cayenne powder.
1 teaspoon cure #1
Mixed all this together.
I split this up into the 2 mason jars. And put them under vacuum. I'll be putting them in the oven after I get home this afternoon.

It gives me the option of vacuum sealing the jar. Which speeds up the marinating process.

You're evil Steve. Get this tease going then disappear. I got my eye on you though....It's time for me to start making jerky for Christmas presents to share with some folks and I'm curious to see how yours turns out. I've always used the dehydrator but a friend recently did some on his RT 700 so I'm considering that also.

Got one eye open...

I just have to get motivated!
I'm watching too much & not filming my smokes enough!
Gonna have to jump back on the wagon!
Are you going to dry it in the smoker or a dehydrator?

You can't steal what's freely given A number of our friends, including the person who owns the company I work for, are somewhat....financially stable shall we say. There is nothing I could buy for them that they don't already have if they want it. The only thing I can offer is something that you can't run to the store and buy or order online. The company owner and I go back to '97 when I started working with him. He's a great guy and absolutely LOVES the jerky I make, so that's my Christmas present to him every year, along with other goodies, like smoked cheese, some different sausages, and homemade bacon. Any or all of that means more to him than anything I could ever buy.

I'm going to dry them in the oven on jerky racks.

And in they go. 5 pounds of meat fills 4 jerky trays nicely. Oven at 170 will check in 3 hours.

And they are done. Cooling for the night. Will bag in the morning. The taste is pretty good. But my next batch I would add pepper. I thought the Cayenne would be enough. So either more cayenne. Or a couple tsp of ground pepper. Still. This was not a disappointment by any means. Very tasty with a nice teriyaki and soy sauce taste.
