Marmite Beef Jerky?

[porkytrotter]

Living here in the UK we have a brand known as Marmite (which is similar to Veggiemite[emoji]8482[/emoji]) and I wondered if it would work as a beef jerky marinade?

Recently I saw the Sous Vide Everything guys use Nutella on Picanha beef and it turned out to be awful: 

Not everything works out and I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this, or could advise please?

Do a 1 pound batch and give it a try.

I don't know how thinned Marmite would be as a marinade exclusively, but it's Salt and Umami qualities might make it a good Soy Sauce replacer...JJ

Okay, for what it's worth, here it is:

Ahhhh - now you need to dial in your recipe.  The flavors you described are beyond my comprehension for flavors I associate with beef.  I would surely give it a try though.

Thanks for posting...Points for your effort!

If you mean to reduce the number of ingredients, then that is exactly what I have done and shall be enhancing those which worked. I have a batch ready for tonight and shall write up the results of my second attempt soon.

I hope to have good news.
