Ali's Homemade Beef Jerky

I have my own food dehydrator and I get so disappointed by commercial jerky that I decided to make use of my machine for more than dried fruit. The jerky can be dried for as long as your personal taste prefers, I find that anywhere between 12 - 16 hours is enough

Ingredient

1 large

fat trimmed Topside roast beef joint

1/2 cup

soy sauce

3 tbsp

oyster sauce

3 tbsp

honey

2 tbsp

worcestershire sauce

5 clove

FINELY chopped garlic

hot chillis FINELY chopped

cayenne pepper

1 dash

sweet chilli sauce

Oxo beef stock cube

Himalayan pink salt

mixed ground pepper

1 dash

sesame oil

mixed herbs

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Remove all fat from beef (as much as possible)

* Step 2

Slice beef THINLY to required size - I like mine to be about 1" wide and 2 - 3" long

* Step 3

In a bowl mix all other ingredients together - adjust measurements to suit your taste (ie amount of chilli or cayenne pepper used)

* Step 4

Note that flavours do not traditionally go together but the final result is delicious

* Step 5

Add sliced beef and mix thoroughly until all meat is coated

* Step 6

Cover bowl in Clingfilm and keep in fridge for a minimum of three hours/overnight is best to infuse flavour into the meat

* Step 7

Place beef on trays of dehydrator do not overcrowd to allow air to flow and stack trays

* Step 8

Setting should be for meat and dehydrate overnight for 12 - 16 hours....I like a touch of moisture still in my jerky so that it is a little juicy but try a piece after 12 hours to see what you prefer
