Beef Jerky

Hey Y'all!

I've been wanting to try my hand at my own beef jerky for a while now.  It seems like the right time since I just got my Rec Tec Mini!

I found this eye of round at the grocery store.  It's not quite as thin as I would like it but we'll see how it goes.

These are the stars of my marinade.  Soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, Sriracha, garlic, brown sugar and pineapple juice.

I whisked it all up together.

I cut the slices of beef into some manageable pieces and adding it to my container.

I poured the marinade into the container and stuck it in the fridge to hang out over night.

I took the beef out this morning and layed it out on my rec tec grate.  I find it much easier to do small stuff like this in the house.  Look at that, it fit perfectly!

I took the meat out after about three hours of drying...some of it still looked a little wet but I needed the smoker!  I stuck the jerky in a 170 degree oven to finish it up.

I took the jerky out about an hour later, and it was tasty!  

Thanks for reading!
