beef jerkey

[shakey0818]

I have been trying to cook beef jerky in my oven and its comming out good but all i can find is recipes that use alot of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce and there a little salty.does anyone have a good recipe for beef jerky?If so ty.

Believe it or not........straight "Yoshida's Gourmet Teriyaki Marinade" makes for a great oven jerky recipe. You can tweak for preferred taste.........black pepper....garlic....red chili sauce.....smoke flavoring......

Forget the liquid marinades and start using dry rubs. The taste is better and it's a lot easier to control the amount of flavor you cover the meat with. Most grocery stores carry a bunch of different premade rubs (keeps you from buying a bunch of spices you may or may not ever use again)

Here's a basic rub:
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)

and this recipe from Chow is an awesome change of pace.

Take an Old Bay seafood seasoning bag, put it in a pot of water, bring it to a boil, let it cool and marinate your beef in it. Works great for chicken on the grill, too.

Great ideas.I also found allot on beefjerkyrecipes.com.

Lot's of good jerky recipes. I think your first problem is that you're missing the smoker.

I... hate... you... guys.... LMAO.

Man I love me some beef jerky. Now I am going to have to try making some!

 

[AUTO-FX]

Here's what i used to do-
take your beef and freeze it partially to make for easy slicing.
lay it all out and lightly salt and pepper both sides. if you like it spicy , use cayenne powder too.
take a pouch of Adolphs Mesquite Meat Marinade and mix it with 1/2 cup of water
add liberal mount of liquid smoke
soak overnight, then cook on lowest heat you can make. ( i like to use a dehydrator)

works good with venison as well

 

[shakey0818]

lol pete same happened to me and i'v been making a batch every day for 6 days now,cant wait to get my electric bill,lol.Im gonna get a smoker next year.I dont see the point of getting a dehydrator just for jerky but i like it so much i might just get 1.Thanks 4 all the recipes guys.

 

[Pat Whatley]

Cheap dehydrators are only $40. You'll spend more than that in two days of making it in the oven.

Good point pat.My elecrtic meter is spinning like a nascar tire at the daytona 500.5-tvs,3 computers and a bunch of other stuff allready going 24-7.Ill def get 1 on black friday.Any recomendations?Not sure to go with stainless 6 rack or plactic 6 rack.

Shakey, invest the money in a smoker. there's lots of choices to suit any budget. I personally have a Bradley Digital Smoker. It cost me about 500$ but it was worth every penny. It's super easy to use and next to impossible to really screw anything up. Plus, they have a great forum with people that are willing to help (rather than bash) newbies. I can't believe some of the stuff that comes out of that thing. I currently hold the title for "best chicken wings" among my friends. Not to mention, wicked ribs, brisket, salmon etc etc etc.... Seriously, buy a smoker and you'll never want to cook with anything else. Now if I could just find the time to use it...

 

[shakey0818]

Great thanks sticky i will def get 1 in the spring.I'm kinda in the middle of desigining a computer and enentertainment center and re-doing my comp room.I will include a smoker when i design my outdoor kitchen for one of my spring time projects.

 

[SignManiac]

I get fried chicken gizzard cravings with hot sauce. I can be working and think about them. I'll get up and drive ten miles hunting them down. Yea, I'm weird like that.

 

[Sticky Signs]

Uhh, I do believe is a smoker is an entertainment centre. It's reality in HD!

I cook this one and love it, its got soy and Worcestershire sauce though..

Jerky? Why would anyone want to take something at least marginally edible and render it inedible?

There's little difference between the taste of jerky and the taste of the package in which it comes. Jerky is a low-tech way to preserve protein, not a method for creating a delicacy. Gak.

I am going to go over there now and post something to the effect..
