Bourbon Sticky Jerky

A great type of jerky to serve to your friends before the big game, or for any lover of Bourbon Whiskey.

Ingredients:
1 Cup of Trimmed Beef
25mL of Bourbon Whiskey, or,15mL of Bourbon Seasoning
25mL of Brown Sugar
5mL of Butter or Margarine
2mL of Salt

To begin, melt the butter or margarine in the microwave or on the stove top.

Combine your trimmed beef and melted butter or margarine in a bowl. You will want to mix it evenly across the surface of the beef to ensure it is well coated.

Once completed, combine the remaining ingredients with the meat, and mix in well. Cover your bowl and place it in the fridge to allow it to marinade. You will want to allow the marinade to sit for at least 1 hour, but anywhere up to 12 is fine, so leave it overnight if you like.

Once finished marinading, place the strips of beef flat into your dehydrator and cook for 5-7 hours, or until cooked thoroughly and to taste. Be sure to throw away your excess sauce rather than pouring it over the meat as it will make the dehydrator quite messy.

Enjoy!

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~!
