(This is the one I bought him, its a Masterbuilt 30" electric smokehouse smoker)
Since then he has been having a blast using it! He made us smoked salmon and done a few different types of meat, but his biggest hit has been the jerky. Everyone who tries it, loves it! He makes a couple batches at a time so he can take some to work and have some at home. His work bag goes by pretty fast because every guy there wants some!
Now my hubby is allowing me to share his recipe so here it goes!
John's Homemade Jerky
1 lb of top round, slice into 1" strips at a 45 degree angle
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 tsp cracker black pepper
1/2 cup of dark brown sugar
2/3 cup of soy sauce
1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup of worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup of pineapple juice
2 tsp of Tabasco
2-3 tsp of red pepper flakes (optional)
First mix the onion powder, garlic powder and pepper together in a small bowl and season the meat with half of the mixture. Keep the remaining mix in a small baggy for later use.
In a medium saucepan, stir together the brown sugar, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, pineapple juice, and tabasco. Heat until the brown sugar completely dissolves. Cool marinade in the fridge.
Next pour the cooled marinade into an large bowl with the meat and mix well. Refrigerate marinade for 24 hours in a large ziploc bag.
After the meat has been marinading long enough, arrange slices on your smoker's racks and sprinkle with the powder mix from step one. Sprinkle red pepper flakes for an extra kick if you're into that sort of thing. Place in your smoker and cook at 150 degrees for 4 1/2 hours. Cooking time can vary between smokers, this is just my husband's cook time.
Voila!
Keep your homemade jerky in an airtight ziploc bag and refrigerated for freshness.
