Dry Cure Southwest Beef Jerky image

This was my first experiment with dry cure jerky. It's a peppery jerky with the flavors of chili. The beef sold as "fajita meat" works perfectly for jerky; it's lean and in good-sized slices. Prep time includes seasoning the beef overnight. Serving size is approximate - how much can you eat at one time?

Time 15h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2-3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 lbs sliced lean beef (I use the beef labeled as "fajita meat")

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine all ingredients and really rub the dry ingredients into the grain of the meat; really get it worked in Cover and marinate overnight.
  • If you have a dehydrator, by all means use it.
  • My oven method: Place aluminum foil on oven rack.
  • Preheat oven to 170 degrees F (that's as low as my oven will go--).
  • Put meat on baking racks then set on the foiled oven rack to dry.
  • Prop the oven door open with an oven mitt to allow moisture to escape.
  • In my oven, it takes about 7 hours for complete drying; slightly less if you use very thin slices (mine are about 1/4 inch thick).
