Decided to make 10lbs of jerky. I made two different types...HEAVY BLACK PEPPER and smoked serrano, anaheim and jalapeno pepper jerky.
Sam's had the roast about $1.00/lb off, so I snagged 'em and cut 'em up.
And the final results...
Recipes...
PEPPERED:
~5lbs of eye of round, round roast sliced with grain.
1/4 c brown sugar
3 tbsp fresh ground pepper (cracked would be good too?)
1 tbsp seasoning salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cure #1
splash of Worcestershire sauce
In a large bowl, mix well. Place in 1 gallon zip lock and let marinade for a min of 12 hours (I went 40).
3 PEPPER
~5lbs of eye of round, round roast sliced with grain
1/4 c brown sugar
1 tbsp of seasoning salt
1 tbsp of smoked anaheim pepper (homemade)
1 tbsp of chipotle pepper (homemade)
2 tsp of smoked serrano pepper (homemade)
1 tsp cure #1
In a large bowl, mix well. Place in 1 gallon zip lock and let marinade for a min of 12 hours (I went 40).
Smoked for 1 hour at 140*F then raised to 170*F for 3.25 hours using hickory (I really liked the maple I used last time, so I will most likely use it next time.) Pull off smoker when the texture meets your preference...I like mine just a little chewy!
