Sweet & Sour Duck Sauce Beef Jerky

A nice sweet and sour jerky that hits the spot. I love duck sauce when eating egg rolls and it turns out to be just as good when making jerky!

Ingredients

Lean Meat

  • 1 lb Beef Top Round or Venison

Marinade

  • ¼ cup duck sauce
  • ¼ cup red wine
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried mustard
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup cold water

Optional

Instructions

  • Trim all visible fat from the beef and place in freezer for an hour or two to partially freeze.
  • While the meat is in the freezer, combine the duck sauce, red wine, worcestershire, salt, pepper, mustard, red pepper, and water in a medium bowl or ziplock bag and mix well.
  • Remove the meat from the freezer and slice ¼" strips against the grain. Cut with the grain for a chewier jerky. I had the butcher slice this top round for me eliminating this slicing step. You could also use a Jerky Slicer for evenly sliced strips.
  • Add sliced beef to the mixture and marinate for 8-24 hours in the refrigerator.
  • After the meat has finished marinating, remove from refrigerator and strain excess marinade.
  • Dry with your favorite jerky making method. My oven was used for this recipe at the lowest temperature of 170 degrees for 4.5 hours.
  • The jerky is finished when it bends and cracks, but does not break in half.
