Ingredients

Fish

  • 8 oz Tuna Steak

Marinade

  • ¾ cup beef broth
  • cup hot sauce Texas Pete
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon curing salt optional

Instructions

  • With a sharp knife, slice strips with the grain ¼" thick
  • Assemble all the ingredients of marinade in a bowl or ziplock bag and mix well.
  • Add the tuna strips to the marinade and marinate for 6-24 hours in the refrigerator. Mix the strips several times during marinating for evenly coated strips. Be Gentle when mixing!
  • Strain jerky strips in a colander and then dry with paper towels to remove any excess marinade.
  • Place strips on a dehydrator tray or oven cooling rack on top of a oven pan to catch any drippings.
  • Dry at 130F if using a dehydrator or as low as your oven will go if using an oven.
  • Jerky will be done when it is completely dry and to your texture liking. It took me 3 ½ hours to dry this jerky in my Nesco Dehydrator
