Making Jerky

[switchback]

I use.....
1 cup smoked allegro
1/2 cup swan phillipeno soy sauce (mild and not so salty)
4 capfulls of liquid smoke
Fiesta brand rib rub (for the spice)

Slice meat thin.
Mix everything except rub in a tupperware container and put meat in it.
May have to mix more marinade depending on amout of meat you cut up.
Put in fridge over night.
Take out and drain of marinade. Pat dry after laying out on cutting board.
Sprinkle rib rub over one side. Lay face down on dehydrator rack. sprinkle other side.
You should have jerky in about 4 hours.
Go sorta easy on rib rub unless you like some heat.

before and after....

I just use Teriyaki seasoning. I have an electric slicer and cut a roast while it's frozen. Place and meat in a zip lock bag and pour a whole bottle of Teriyaki seasoning in and place bag in fridge over night, turning and shaking the bag several times. Placing strips in my dehydrator for 6-8 hr. It comes out with a good salty flavor

[Smart]

5-7 lbs of deer, beef etc
2 bottle of Allegro Hickory Smoke
1 bottle of Allegro Hot n Spicy
(can add more of either of the two if you need more marinade)
crushed red pepper
restaurant style black pepper

Cut meat across the grain in 1/8-1/4 strips ...soak in mixture above over night, the longer the better. I prefer at least 12 hours.

Place strips in dehydrator and lightly sprinkle with both type peppers . Don't overdo it because the meat slice will shrink but the pepper flake will not. In other words if he looks just right peppered while wet, it will be too peppery when dehydrated. This may take you a couple of batches to get it like you like it pepper wise. Its all still good either way. Depending on your dehydrator, it can take anywhere from 8-14 hours to dehydrate properly. I like mine dry but flexible/chewy....some like it dry as a popcorn fart. Just play with different batches and perfect it like you like it.
