As I prepare to walk the Trans-Catalina Trail, I’m whipping up some tried and true recipes including a delicious jerky with NO ADDED SUGAR or chemicals.
It’s super simple and requires very few ingredients. You can always add a drop of pineapple juice for sweetness and cut the soy if too salty.
Jerky will store for up to a week in an airtight container. I vacuum seal then freeze it and have sent it in resupply boxes. Never a problem!
Jerky Recipe
ingredients
🥩2 lbs beef (with as little marbling as possible)
☕️ 1 cup soy sauce (I like Braggs Liquid Aminos)
🥄 1 tsp liquid smoke (optional, but adds a wonderful flavor!)
🥄🥄 2 tsp fresh ground pepper
🥄 1 tsp smoked garlic powder
🥄 1 tsp smoked paprika
🥄 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
directions
🥶 slightly freeze the meat to make easier to slice thinly
🥣 mix marinade and add meat, best if stored in a bag overnight in fridge so the jerky soaks up all the marinade
🥵 place in a dehydrator until dry (NOTE: about 1 – 1 1/2 hours only or it will be too tough!)
😋 cool and store in air-tight container
ENJOY!
