Duke's Original

I was walking through the supermarket  yesterday; for all who live in Texas can guess which one that is. This time I stopped to check out the commercial jerky scene. I noticed a brand I had seen before but never tried, Duke’s Beef Jerky. So here is the recipe off their site.

Ingredients

Lean Beef:

Marinade:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke hickory
  • 1 clove garlic minced

Optional

Instructions

  • Pick a lean cut of beef and trim all visible fat. After trimming the fat, place the meat in the freezer for an hour or two to partially freeze.
  • While the meat is in the freezer, add the soy sauce, salt, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, liquid smoke, and minced garlic to a medium size bowl or container. Stir the mixture until the sugar has dissolved fully.
  • Remove meat from the freezer and slice against the grain between ⅛" - ¼" in thickness.
  • Add sliced beef to the mixture and marinate in the refrigerator for 6-24 hours.
  • After the meat has finished marinating, remove from refrigerator and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Dry with your favorite jerky making method. A dehydrator was used when making this recipe.
  • Jerky will be finished when it bends and cracks, but does not break in half. Allow to cool for several hours before storing in air tight containers.
