...well i got off my ass yesterday and this morning and made my very favorite jerky.
this meat is elk that my dad got last fall in colorado...the cut would be considered the 'eye of round'.
i cut it up by hand while it was half frozen (thats why it looks like i did a pretty good job)
i soaked it overnight in my own perfect jerky marinade.
....this is what i do for 2.5 pounds of meat (that's the amount your looking at)
10 oz. Soy Sauce - Any brand
7.5 oz. Worcestershire Sauce - Lea & Perrins - Preferred
10 oz. Teriyaki sauce - Any brand
2 tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar
2 tablespoons Garlic Powder
2 tablespoons Onion Powder
2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
...then into the smoker this morning....3 pans of alder wood smoke in the first cpl hrs...then just use the low heat to finish drying w/ no more smoke...perfect!
i love hickory wood for smoke too, and im not all that fond of mesquite for some reason.
oh yeah heres the pics i promised...
i will take a cpl more later when it's finished....also the "superthrive" is not part of the recipe (it just happened to find its way into the pics...lol)
also ive used this same recipe w/ beef, and it works great....if u dont have a smoker u can make it using the oven ...just add a small bottle of 'liquid smoke' to the marinade.
if u use the oven just set it on the lowest setting...(i even crack the door open)...and it only takes a few hrs to get it done.
