Jerky

Jerky is a great protein packed snack, with 9 grams of protein per ounce. Jerky is basically meat with no fat and stripped and dried. Beef, Chicken, Turkey, and Salmon, are the popular forms of Jerky.

There are also tons of flavors you can create, and I’ll post my favorites below, as well as brands.

Lemon Pepper Beef Jerky

Steps

• Slice beef thinly and evenly so that it drys and cooks at the same time. (Can use a roast)
• Make a marinade using lemon pepper, black pepper, garlic, salt, and soy sauce.(Place ingredients in a Ziploc bag)Add sliced beef, and mix around until evenly coated.
• Let fridge for 8-24 hours
• After marinade is complete strain the jerky in a colander, then place paper towels at the bottom of your dehydrator, oven rack, or smoker rack.
• Cook for 4 hours on 165 degrees
• You will know the Jerky is done when white fibers are visible, break a piece in half

Steak Dry Rub Beef Jerky

• Slice your beef thinly and evenly throughout. (Cut off fat first)
• Use McCormick Grill Mates Steak rub to season beef. 1/4 Cup of seasoning, Season beef on both sides.
• Place Jerky in Dehydrator, oven, or smoker on 165 degrees. Cook for 6 hours
• There is no marinade process since it’s dry rub, so if you are in not in a rush place beef in fridge for a few hours before dehydrating.
