Best Dry Cure Southwest Beef Jerky Recipes

DOC'S BEST BEEF JERKY

Doc's Best Beef Jerky image

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.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 teaspoons salt
9 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
3 teaspoons dry mustard
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
3 lbs london broil beef or 3 lbs flank steaks, sliced into very thin strips

Steps:

Combine all ingredients (except the meat) until combined.
Add meat that has been thinly sliced (the meat is easier to slice when its half frozen) and marinade 24-48 hours, refrigerated.
Remove from marinade, disguarding excess.
Place onto food dehydrator trays, you'll know its done when it cracks when bent but does not break.
I have never "over dehydrated" my jerky, I always feel its better over dried than under dried. Mine usually takes about a day and a half to be fully done. Rotate trays for even dehydration.
