drying Beef Jerky recipe ?

[jhc]

Maggi is good because it's almost all MSG.

jhc,
 
Good points. I never use salt directly in my recipes but rely solely on the soy sauce to provide it (always seems to suffice.)  I have discovered some soy "seasoning" products that produce a better flavor and would recommend using them in place of traditional soy sauce. Here are a couple, but if you have an oriental grocery store available, there may be more varieties for experimentation. 
 

 

I cook with those as well but i'm out of most of the thai soy sauces i buy from importfood.com and need to stock up soon.  I did pull a yak heart out of my freezer to make my next batch of jerky with and i'm getting some elk meat too i can use very soon.

Looks and sounds like you "nailed" it. I like fish sauce but never even considered it for jerky. I now have a new project! Thanks for sharing. How does the sauce meld with overall flavor?

Came out very well. Short marinade time it was around 4-5 hours and I didn’t dry it off before smoking. Good layer of flavors and I think if I left it on too long I wouldn’t get that heart flavor on the end. You could use beef heart as well. This yak is from here in southwest Colorado and they are grass fed grazing animals.

Green chile jerky. Easy peasy, I don't get too fancy with it. I don't like sweet jerky, so quality flank, roasted and peeled Hatch green chiles, garlic, Maggi, pepper, and lemon juice does the trick well. I blend up all of the liquid ingredients, garlic, and chiles, mix it well with some sliced up flank, then throw it on the dehydrator racks at 160. I like mine extra crispy
