This is something I came up with one winter day. First you taste the sweet and then comes the slow burn! I use jalepenos that we grew, dried, and keep in our freezer. This also makes a great dry rub for the grill or smoker! Ingredients:
3 lbs lean yet cheap cut beef (flank steak or brisket works great) |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 tablespoon tone's brand fajita seasoning mix (dry) |
1 tablespoon tony chachere's seasoning |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 teaspoon tone's brand mesquite powder (dry) |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 -2 dried jalapeno peppers or 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. Slice meat across the grain 1/4 slices. 2. If using whole dried jalepeno's put them into food processor and pulse until well chopped. 3. Add remaining ingredients into food procesor and mix well. 4. Transfer dry ingredients to a gallon ziplock bag 5. Add about 1/3 of the meat slices to bag, close and shake making sure meat is well coated. 6. Place coated meat onto food dehydrator trays and repeat step 5 until all meat is coated. 7. Set food dehyrator as directed by manufacture (at least 150 degrees) for 4 - 6 hours depending on how tender you like your jerky (less time more tender). 8. Finished jerky should be kept in air tight container or bag in the refrigerator. |
