Beef Jerky

8 Tbs Soy Sauce
8 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbs Ketchup
1/2 tsp Hot Shot( mixed red and black pepper found in spice aisle)
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Onion Salt
Pepper Flakes (Optional. Add more or less to make it more or less spicy)
1/4 tsp Liquid Smoke

Purchase a 6-8 lbs tender rump roast. Have your butcher slice it for jerky, about 1/8 inch slices. Arrange beef slices in a shallow pan and pour marinade mixture over the beef. Marinade for at least 4 hours. Place slices on dehydrator trays and dehydrate at 145-150 degrees. It will take 4-15 hours for the meat to dry. One hint the dehydrator book says is to absorb the excess oils from the meat occasionally as it dries and to wrap in paper towels for a couple hours prior to packaging to absorb the oils as this extends shelf life. I sometimes replace the pepper flakes with Jamaican Jerk Seasoning for a different taste and much spicier jerky.

Same old story, same old ending:…
