Just for fun here's how I whip up a batch of killer beef jerkey.
First you need beef. Lots of beef.
A small cow will suffice.
I just buy about 7 or 8 pounds of bottom round roast, it's easier than finding a willing cow.
Then I make the swill, uh, the marinade...
The marinade is an unholy mixture of red wine, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, garlic powder. onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and a few quarts of water.
It gets brought to a hard boil & stews till the meat is sliced. Then gets cooled to room temp.
After the meat gets sliced on the meat slicer it gets cut into strips.
Then the strips go into the swill, overnight in the fridge.
The next day the smoker is stoked up and allowed to settle down to smokin'
As the fire burns down the meat strips are hung on racks with toothpics.
And then the racks are placed in the smoker for several hours to smoke.
After the right amount of time smoking, usually 4 or so hours, the strips turn a nice shiny maroon color.
Then you know it's done.
Nothing left to do now but take the strips off, pull out the toothpicks, pop a cold beer & enjoy...
