Garlic Beef Jerky Recipes

HOMEMADE BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• Whisk Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, paprika, honey, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder together in a bowl. Add beef to bowl and turn to coat beef completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 3 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over the foil.
• Transfer beef to paper towels to dry. Discard marinade. Arrange beef slices in a single layer on the prepared wire rack on the baking sheet.
• Bake beef in the preheated oven until dry and leathery, 3 to 4 hours. Cut with scissors into bite-size pieces.

HONEY GARLIC GINGER BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• Put the honey, garlic and ginger is a small sauce pot and heat until just boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer.
• Add salt and water to the pot, stirring to dissolve the salt.
• Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the ginger and garlic are soft.
• Add the cardamom and cloves and immediately remove from heat. Stir
• Puree with immersion blender, regular blender or food processor.
• Allow marinade to cool.
• Add the marinade to the meat and smoosh it with your hands to get every piece covered.
• Put the meat mixture in a plastic bag and allow to marinate over night.
• Put the strips of meat on a dehydrator tray and dehydrate at 160 degrees until dry but still bendy. About 8-9 hours.
• Place the jerky in an oven preheated to 275 degrees and heat it for 10 minutes.

SPICY GARLIC BEEF JERKY RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl
• Marinate the meat for at least 2 hours, but no more than 8
• Place the meat slices in a dehydrator and set to 155 degrees for 6 hours and check the moisture level
• Dehydrators vary in effectiveness so you may need anywhere from 1 to 3 more hours to fully dry out the jerky.

THE BEST HOMEMADE BEEF JERKY RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice the meat between ⅛ and ¼ inch thick with the grain. (If the roast is too thick to slice easily, cut it in half horizontally before slicing.)
• Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, meat tenderizer, black pepper, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and garlic powder. Whisk until evenly combined and the sugar is dissolved.
• Add the meat to the marinade and toss until all of the pieces are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap or transfer to a large ziplock bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours or overnight. Toss the meat (or flip the bag) once or twice to be sure the meat marinates evenly.
• Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Place a wire rack over each pan. Preheat the oven to 175°F and set two oven racks in the centermost positions.
• Arrange the marinated meat on the wire racks in a single layer. Bake, rotating the pans from front to back and top to bottom midway through, until the meat is dried out, 3 to 4 hours. To determine if the jerky is thoroughly dried out, take a piece out of the oven and let it cool to room temperature. It should be dry to the touch, leather-like in appearance, and chewy but still somewhat tender.
• Store the jerky inside an airtight plastic container, Ziploc bag, or airtight glass jars. Properly dried jerky will keep at room temperature for about one week. Refrigerate or freeze for longer storage.
• Note: Pop the meat in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours before slicing; it will be easier to cut.
• Note: Meat tenderizer contains bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down meat tissue. You can find it in the spice section of your supermarket. (I use McCormick.)
