Beef jerky, cowboy style beef jerky (recipe)


  1. In a very large bowl mix up all ingredients except the meat and set aside.
  2. If using a whole brisket separate the flat half and the point half, put the point half away for another use (like smoking it). Trim all the fat from the flat half, it needs to be very lean (You butcher may do this for you, along with slicing it).
  3. You can partially freeze this for easier slicing, slice into 1/8 or slightly thicker. If you need to, cut in lengths to fit your dehydrator. Or use a gas oven set on 145 8F.
  4. Add slices to bowl with the marinade, with clean hands make sure all the meat is coated without any \dry spots\. Press down the meat to remove air and bring marinade to the top.
  5. Allow to marinade for about 4 hours, stirring the meat a few times during this period to keep the meat coated. I use my hands, washed of course, then press the meat down again.
  6. If you need more marinade just scale down the recipe and make a little more.
  7. Place slices in the dehydrator and dehydrate according to manufacturers directions.
  8. If using a gas oven (I didn't like the results from an electric oven), place several sheets of foil across the bottom of oven, do not cover the heat vents, heat to 145 F, place slices directly on oven rack and close door.
  9. Allow to dry for 6 to 8 hours. The jerky needs to be dry but still pliable, NOT crunchy. It will bend but not break.
  10. Store in an airtight container after it has cooled completely.
  11. When you are eating this pretend your a cowboy on horseback in a cattle drive, all you have to eat everyday is beans, hard bread and beef jerky, tear off a piece with your teeth, jam in down between your cheek and gum, suck on it for a minute or 2, then slowly start chewing the edge until it is gone. LOL, or just enjoy it however you like.
  12. I call this jerky \Cowboy Style\ because it is very tough and chewy, if you do not like tough jerky then use whatever meat you prefer. Round roast works well, just make sure the cut you use is very lean and trimmed of all fat. Fat can turn rancid.
