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.
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.
