Beef Jerky 3 Ways

[ssandy_561]

My local Giant Eagle supermarket has CAB eye of round roasts on sale for $3.99/lb. And that means one thing: It’s JERKY TIME!



Picked up three roast so I thought how about three types of jerky.

After some interweb searching I decided on Dr. Pepper Jalapeño Jerky, Pineapple Teriyaki Jerky and Sweet and Spicy Jerky.

I have made the Sweet and Spicy Jerky twice before and it’s delicious. Here is my original write up of that.

Both the Dr. Pepper Jalapeño and Pineapple Teriyaki are new to me.

I found the same recipe for Dr. Pepper Jalapeño Jerky on many different web sites so I went with that one.



3 cups Dr. Pepper
3 jalapeño diced
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon black pepper
1/2 tablespoon granulated garlic
1/2 tablespoon granulated onion

I first heated up 1 1/2 cups of the Dr. Pepper in the microwave until just about to boil. I then added in the jalapeños and salt & spices. I mixed this around until the salt & spices were dissolved. I then added in the rest of the Dr. Pepper and Worcestershire sauce and the marinade was ready.

Next up came the Pineapple Teriyaki marinade.



I came up with the following recipe after looking at about a half dozen recipes online.

1 cup soy sauce
1 cup teriyaki sauce
1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon granulated onion
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil

I heated up the soy sauce and teriyaki sauce in a pan. One it was just about to boil I removed it from the heat and added in all other ingredients except the pineapple juice. Stirred up everything till it was all dissolved and incorporated and then added in the pineapple juice.

I then prepared my Sweet and Spicy jerky marinade.




I set all the marinades aside and then went to work on the beef.

I removed all fat and silver skin from the three roasts and then put them in the freezer for 30 minutes or so to make it easier to slice the beef.

I used my Dalstrong Shogun Granton Edge Slicer to cut the roasts into 1/8 - 1/4 inch slices. This knife made the task so easy.



Once the beef was all cut up it was everyone into the pools.

Next everything got covered and into the garage fridge they went.

Just pulled the jerky from the fridge and mixed it up again.





It’s now covered back up and off to bed I go to dream of beef jerky.

……..to be continued tomorrow.

Looks quite different than the pineapple teriyaki jerky.

[texastweeter]

I make jerkey pretty often. Mine after a 4-8 hour marinade, mine gets cold smoked for about an hour or two, then in the convection oven set on dehydrate 140° for about 8 hours or until it starts to spiderweb when bent. I like the idea of the teriyaki jalapeno. I make my regular, then I have s spicy ghost chili, and the a Sriracha honey.

[ssandy_561]

Sriracha Honey sounds interesting. Might need to do this next time.

The Dr. Pepper Jalapeño is done
