Sweet and Juicy Jerky

Sweet and Juicy Jerky:

This is Sam's favorite recipe, and is just as easy to make. You will need:

Ingredients:

1 cup trimmed and sliced fresh beef (either from a roast, or steak)
25mL - Honey Garlic BBQ Sauce (Any common variety)
25mL - Brown Sugar
25mL - Margarine or Butter
A pinch of pepper
A pinch of salt

Be sure to trim the meat so that there is extra fat left on the meat, and the strips are on the thicker side. By leaving the strips thicker you can have them come out extra soft.

In a separate container melt the butter or margarine in the microwave or stove top. You will want it to be completely melted.

Once the meat is properly trimmed place it in a bowl and add the butter/margarine.

Be sure to work in the butter well before adding the other ingredients. This is important to have the butter soak in with the meat, rather than leaving it greasy when you're done.

After mixed, add the remaining ingredients to the mix. Be sure to work them in evenly with your hands so they are coating the meat and worked in across the jerky.

Once the ingredients have been all combined, lay the strips of jerky flat in the dehydrator.

Cooking time will vary based on your dehydrator, but on mine generally takes about 5 hours. Start to check it after 3-4 and remove pieces when they are cooked throughout, and to your liking.

Enjoy~!
