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.

FRESH HONEY BEEF JERKY

Fresh Honey Beef Jerky image

I have been a Beef Jerky Maniak for a couple of years now. The only problem is that beef jerky can only be bought for the dog here in Holland. So I came across a respectable recipe and i made some changes to it to suit my taste.

Time 20h

Yield 10-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 lbs very lean beef tenderloin, premier quality
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup honey
5/8 cup Japanese soy sauce (kikkoman is the best)
1 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon fresh crushed black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Buy the meat fresh from the butcher, about 2 mm thick and put it in the freezer for 2 1/2 hour.
Cut away all excess fat,can be done easily now the meat is partly frozen.
Defrost meat in microwave.
Combine garlic, soy sauce, pepper, salt, liquid smoke, lemon juice, honey in a plastic container and marinate the meat in it for 12 to 24 hours.
The next day, put a oven rack on the lowest level and cover it with foil for easy cleaning.
Also, put another rack on the highest level.
Preheat oven to 50°C.
Insert a wooden toothpick through the end of each slice of meat, and suspend each slice from the top rack in the oven, using the toothpick as a support for the slice.
This way you can easily fit 1 kilogram of meat on one rack.
Bake at 50°C and leave the oven door open to allow moisture to escape.
Check the meat after 5 hours.
It could take up to 8 hours, depending on the thickness of the slices.
Jerky should bend, and not snap.
Then it is ready!
Store in a air-free zip bag.
