PEPPERED BEEF JERKY
This Peppered Beef Jerky recipe is packed with classic jerky flavor with a black pepper kick. It's the perfect recipe to try if you're making beef jerky for the first time. While I prefer to dehydrate my beef jerky on my smoker, I've included adaptations in this recipe so you can make it in an oven or classic dehydrator as well.

Steps:
- In a large zip top bag, combine all ingredients for the marinade. Mix well to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the sliced eye of round to your marinade and toss gently in the bag to coat all sides of the meat with the marinade. Refrigerate 8 hours, or up to 24 hours. The longer it marinates, the saltier and stronger the flavor will be.
- Remove the strips of marinated beef from the bag and place on paper towels. Pat dry.
- Preheat your smoker, oven (with the door cracked), or dehydrator to run at around 170 degrees F. Transfer the strips to the grill grate, jerky rack, or cooling rack and season the top with additional black pepper, if desired.
- Smoke/cook for 2-3 hours (depending on the thickness of your slices, some thicker pieces can take 4-5 hours). Check often after the first hour to be sure your jerky is drying evenly. You are looking for jerky that is firm and still slightly pliable, but not soft. If you bend your jerky and it breaks, you've cooked it a little too long
- Place the finished jerky in a gallon zip top bag while it is still warm. Don't seal closed all the way. The jerky will steam in the bag slightly and this step will make the jerky moist. If you added the curing salt, the jerky will last a couple of weeks on the counter. If you did not add in the curing salt, it will last a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.

JERKY WITH CURE
I see there I see there are a lot of jerky recipes here but they all seem to lack on thing to make jerky you have to cure it. This helps flavor and tenderises the meat a little more it also lets you "Jerk" the meat. Jerky is easy to make and the rule is marinaded it like how you like your steak and you should not go wrong.

Steps:
- Now you can cut your meat 1/4 thick or you can get it done by the butcher. Take the meat and place it in a bowl or container with a lid as you are going to add liquid to the meat, salt, sugar and vinegar. Now add the salt and sugar to the meat in the container mix well. You can add more salt or sugar if you like it is based on taste if you like your jerky salty then go with more salt then sugar just say in the 1 1/4 cup area with the dry ingredients. After you mix the dry ingredients add the vinegar to it. The vinegar makes any fat you did not cut off loosen up during the curing possess it also makes it easy to pull or cut the fat off before you dehydrate it. Then fill the container with water use cold water as hot water sometimes cooks the meat a little. Stir up the sugar and salt and place in the refrigerator for about 24 hours.
- After 24 hours is done take the container empty the cure out of it and if you want wash the meat in cold water to get off any extra cure. Add any type of marinade you would like if you like if you like it on your steak add it to your marinade anything from garlic powder, Worcester sauce, soy sauce, liquid smoke, A1 or even Heinz 57! Add what you'd like and let sit for another 24 hours. After that drain off liquid and add to your smoker, dehydrator or oven.

Steps:
- Trim the flank steak of any excess fat, place in a zip-top bag, and place it in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours in order to firm up.
- Remove the steak from the freezer and thinly slice the meat with the grain, into long strips.
- Place the strips of meat along with all of the remaining ingredients into a large, 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and move around to evenly distribute all of the ingredients. Place the bag into the refrigerator for 3 to 6 hours.
- Remove the meat from the brine and pat dry. Evenly distribute the strips of meat onto 3 of the air filters, laying them in the grooves and then stacking the filters on top of one another. Top these with 1 empty filter. Next, lay the box fan on its side and lay the filters on top of it. Strap the filters to the fan with 2 bungee cords. Stand the fan upright, plug in and set to medium. Allow the meat dry for 8 to 12 hours. If using a commercial dehydrator, follow the manufacturer's directions.
- Once dry, store in a cool dry place, in an airtight container for 2 to 3 months.

Steps:
- Slice the meat between ⅛ and ¼ inch thick with the grain. (If the roast is too thick to slice easily, cut it in half horizontally before slicing.)
- Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, meat tenderizer, black pepper, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and garlic powder. Whisk until evenly combined and the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the meat to the marinade and toss until all of the pieces are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap or transfer to a large ziplock bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours or overnight. Toss the meat (or flip the bag) once or twice to be sure the meat marinates evenly.
- Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Place a wire rack over each pan. Preheat the oven to 175°F and set two oven racks in the centermost positions.
- Arrange the marinated meat on the wire racks in a single layer. Bake, rotating the pans from front to back and top to bottom midway through, until the meat is dried out, 3 to 4 hours. To determine if the jerky is thoroughly dried out, take a piece out of the oven and let it cool to room temperature. It should be dry to the touch, leather-like in appearance, and chewy but still somewhat tender.
- Store the jerky inside an airtight plastic container, Ziploc bag, or airtight glass jars. Properly dried jerky will keep at room temperature for about one week. Refrigerate or freeze for longer storage.
- Note: Pop the meat in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours before slicing; it will be easier to cut.
- Note: Meat tenderizer contains bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down meat tissue. You can find it in the spice section of your supermarket. (I use McCormick.)

DRY CURE SOUTHWEST BEEF JERKY
This was my first experiment with dry cure jerky. It's a peppery jerky with the flavors of chili. The beef sold as "fajita meat" works perfectly for jerky; it's lean and in good-sized slices. Prep time includes seasoning the beef overnight. Serving size is approximate - how much can you eat at one time?

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients and really rub the dry ingredients into the grain of the meat; really get it worked in Cover and marinate overnight.
- If you have a dehydrator, by all means use it.
- My oven method: Place aluminum foil on oven rack.
- Preheat oven to 170 degrees F (that's as low as my oven will go--).
- Put meat on baking racks then set on the foiled oven rack to dry.
- Prop the oven door open with an oven mitt to allow moisture to escape.
- In my oven, it takes about 7 hours for complete drying; slightly less if you use very thin slices (mine are about 1/4 inch thick).
DOC'S BEST BEEF JERKY
I have been making jerky for years. This is my recipe concocted by trial and error. Everyone who has tried it says it is the 'best jerky' they have ever had! My dehydrator is designed for jerky. It takes me about 4 hours to dry the meat. This could also be done in the oven or using other dehydrators. Please check your manual for correct times as each machine is different. I hope you enjoy this jerky as much as me and my family do.
