Homemade jerky

[Guest guest]

I have tried several types of jerky and always found them too salty. I found this receipe for making your own on another list. You can control the salt.

1/2 tsp salt 1 garlic clove, crushed1/8 tsp pepper 1/4 cup soy sauce1/2 tsp ground ginger 1 lb lean meat, thinly sliced (3/16 to 1/4 inchthick)2 tbs brown sugarIn a small bowl, combine all ingredients except meat. Stir to mix well.Place meat 3 or 4 layers deep in a glass, stoneware, plastic, or stainlesssteel container, spooning soy sauce mixture over each layer. Cover tightly.Marinate 6 to 12 hours in the refigerator, stirring occasionally and keepingthe mixture tightly covered. Makes 1/4 lb jerky.I marinate it overnight 6 hours then turn the bowl over and marinate another6 hours or so. Then I use a dehydrator and cook til it get brittle. I make1 lb which requires 4 pounds of meat and multiplying the recipe amounts fourtimes.Until I got a dehydrator I used my self-cleaning over. Where I am now, doesnot have a self-cleaning oven, I have a dehydrator which loaned me.
