New Recipe: Smokey, Sweet & Spicy BEEF JERKY

Thanks to a new wave of people making homemade jerky we decided to post jerky recipe #2 Yield: 8 to 10 appetizer portions.

Ingredients:

· 2lbs beef jerky (thin sliced lean beef)

· 1 tsp liquid smoke

· ¼ cup soy sauce

· ¼ cup honey

· 1 ½ tbsp hot sauce

· 2 tsp black pepper

· 2 tsp garlic powder

· 1 ½ tsp cayenne pepper, to taste

· 1 ½ tsp onion powder

· 1 tsp chili powder

Place a Ziploc bag over a 2lb container.

Add all ingredients, then add meat and smush it around well.

At this point, you can freeze it or simply marinate overnight in the refrigerator, at least 8 hours.

Preheat oven to 175˚F.

Line a baking sheet well with foil. Spray the pan very well.

Lay the pieces of meat flat on the baking sheets (each will fit one pound).

The pieces of meat can touch but they should not overlap.

Bake for 1 ½ hours, then flip and bake for another 1 ½ to 2 hours

(depending on the thickness of your meat), until meat is dry.
