Steps:
- Thinly slice the meat* and cut off all visible fat.
- Pound slices with a meat tenderizer mallet until pieces are uniform thickness (aprox nickel width).
- Place the beef strips in a zip-top bag. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over beef.
- Cover & marinate for 12-36 hours. Shake the bag a few times as it's marinating to make sure the beef is evenly coated.
- Spread the meat in a single layer, shaking off any excess marinade, on the dehydrator trays.
- Dry at 165F/74C for 4-6 hours, occasionally blotting off any fat droplets that appear on the surface. Test using a cooled piece. Properly dried jerky, when bent, should crack but not break.
- Package jerky in and air-tight container or vacuum seal (*see storage notes below). Store in a cool, dark & dry place.

THE ULTIMATE BEEF JERKY RECIPE
The best beef jerky recipe made with Habanero Peppers is bound for greatness! The spicy kick of the peppers and the saltiness of the Sea Salt really makes this the top jerky recipe ever! This Ultimate Beef Jerky recipe quickly jumped to the top of my list of hundreds of jerky recipes I have made over the years.

Steps:
- Trim all visible fat from the beef and place in freezer for an hour or two to partially freeze.
- While the meat is in the freezer, combine marinade ingredients in a blender and blend until the peppers have been chopped into very small pieces. Place in a bowl or ziplock bag.
- Remove the meat from the freezer and slice ¼" strips against the grain for an easy chew. Cut with the grain for a more chewy jerky.
- Add sliced beef to the mixture in the ziplock bag or bowl and marinate for 8-24 hours in the refrigerator.
- After the meat has finished marinating, remove from refrigerator and strain excess marinade in a colander and pat dry with paper towels.
- Load dehydrator trays with jerky strips leaving room for air to circulate I used my Excalibur Dehydrator and dried for 3 hours at 165°F and 1 hour at 145°F
- The jerky is finished when it bends and cracks, but does not break in half.

BEEF/VENISON JERKY
I finally wrote down the exact amounts I used to get some great tasting jerky! The cayenne pepper is optional as it does spice it up a bit. The kids love it and its better than feeding them twinkees.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients. Pour over meat and mix well. Put it in the fridge overnight. I use a dehydrator and a jerky gun to dry the stuff as I've found this is the best way to make jerky. Usually takes about 7 hours to dry.

DOC'S BEST BEEF JERKY
I have been making jerky for years. This is my recipe concocted by trial and error. Everyone who has tried it says it is the 'best jerky' they have ever had! My dehydrator is designed for jerky. It takes me about 4 hours to dry the meat. This could also be done in the oven or using other dehydrators. Please check your manual for correct times as each machine is different. I hope you enjoy this jerky as much as me and my family do.
