Hi All,

Need some help. I've been making jerky for a couple of years now and my buddies absolutely love it. My problem is that they always want me to go "hotter". I marinate thinly sliced London Broil for 24 hours with the following

2 C Soy

1 C Teriyaki

10 Fresh Ghost Peppers

12 Fresh Habaneros

2 Fresh Jalapenos

2 Fresh Serranos

8 Garlic

1 Tbs Dave Ghost Pepper Sauce

1 Tbs Cayenne Pepper

1 Tbs "Hot" Paprika

1/2 C honey

1/4 C Worcestershire

Habanero and Red pepper flakes

And a few other secret ingredients.

The peppers and garlic are finely chopped in a food processor and added to the other ingredients. Meat is marinaded in a zip lock for 24 hours and dehydrated for 8 hrs. 

I understand that most people will think this is too hot, however I have a select few friends who want me to go hotter. Any suggestions? Should I increase the number of peppers into the marinade? (I chop with seeds and ribs included).

Should i marinate longer?

Thanks for any suggestions!

  Add crushed habanero but run it through a coffee grinder right before you add it then add a healthy dose of Death Rain Nitro as well.http://www.hotsauce.com/Blair-s-Death-Rain-Nitro-Seasoning-p/3530.htm   I use it for a lot of things & it works great. It is really good on fries too

     If you still need more heat let me know & I'll send you a link to some really hot stuff but you have to be careful with it - if you let it touch your skin it causes blisters right away. It is also kind of pricey but it sure does the job!

When I make my marinade, I use a garlic press to squeeze the juice out of the serranos and then throw in the mashed up serrano. Hope this helps.

They have good heat but their flavor isn't very good in my opinion. I am gonna grow some & see if they turn out any better but based on the few I've had so far the flavor trade-off isn't worth the extra heat when you can easily up the heat with extract & still maintain good flavor. That's just my opinion - others may love the flavor

Wow, thanks everyone for the suggestions. I really like the idea of a garlic press and/or coffee grinder. I will give that a try. Also going to order some Death Nitro powder in the morning to add to my mix, hope that will do the trick!

Thanks again everyone!
