DAD'S BEEF JERKY MARINADE



Dad's Beef Jerky Marinade image

The recipe as written should be multiplied based on your total meat. I usually make enough marinade based on the pre-trimmed weight of the meat. Preparation time only includes the assembly of the marinade. The trimming of the meat, packaging and drying time will vary based on the cut of meat, amount to be marinaded and the drying method used.

DAD'S JERKY MARINADE



Dad's Jerky Marinade image

My dad has been making beef jerky for about as long as I can remember. He started on an outdoor smoker before graduating to an indoor dehydrator. He has gotten my husband addicted to it. You can use any type of meat that you like. I usually look for large inexpensive roasts with as little fat and marbling as possible.

BEEF JERKY, COWBOY STYLE BEEF JERKY



Beef Jerky, Cowboy Style Beef Jerky image

A story about beef jerky - Real tradition cowboy type beef jerky was the meat pulled from the side of a cow and meat scraps leftover from butchering (hence the toughness), thick meaty cuts were cured in a salty brine with whatever herbs or spices they had on hand, often it was twisted and tied into knots and then hung on tree limbs and such in direct sunlight until dried or in a smokehouse if they were so lucky. It was a good source of protein on cattle drives, other than beans and hard bread, maybe an occational rabbit or squirrel it was often what they nibbled on most of the day. I use brisket for it's toughness (cowboy style) but use whatever cut you wish. We don't sun dry anymore because of flys and bugs and such. My beef jerky recipe is also excellent for deer meat, buffalo and such, just make sure it is very lean with little or no fat. Deer made this way is my favorite.

Time 6h45m

Yield 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 beef brisket (or just the flat cut)
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
1 1/2 cups Worcestershire sauce
3 -4 teaspoons liquid smoke (depending on strength of liquid smoke)
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
1 -2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • In a very large bowl mix up all ingredients except the meat and set aside.
  • If using a whole brisket separate the flat half and the point half, put the point half away for another use (like smoking it). Trim all the fat from the flat half, it needs to be very lean (You butcher may do this for you, along with slicing it).
  • You can partially freeze this for easier slicing, slice into 1/8 or slightly thicker. If you need to, cut in lengths to fit your dehydrator. Or use a gas oven set on 145°F.
  • Add slices to bowl with the marinade, with clean hands make sure all the meat is coated without any "dry spots". Press down the meat to remove air and bring marinade to the top.
  • Allow to marinade for about 4 hours, stirring the meat a few times during this period to keep the meat coated. I use my hands, washed of course, then press the meat down again.
  • If you need more marinade just scale down the recipe and make a little more.
  • Place slices in the dehydrator and dehydrate according to manufacturers directions.
  • If using a gas oven (I didn't like the results from an electric oven), place several sheets of foil across the bottom of oven, do not cover the heat vents, heat to 145 F, place slices directly on oven rack and close door.
  • Allow to dry for 6 to 8 hours. The jerky needs to be dry but still pliable, NOT crunchy. It will bend but not break.
  • Store in an airtight container after it has cooled completely.
  • When you are eating this pretend your a cowboy on horseback in a cattle drive, all you have to eat everyday is beans, hard bread and beef jerky, tear off a piece with your teeth, jam in down between your cheek and gum, suck on it for a minute or 2, then slowly start chewing the edge until it is gone. LOL, or just enjoy it however you like.
  • I call this jerky "Cowboy Style" because it is very tough and chewy, if you do not like tough jerky then use whatever meat you prefer. Round roast works well, just make sure the cut you use is very lean and trimmed of all fat. Fat can turn rancid.

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.
