So I'm gonna smoke some beef jerky tomorrow. It's the second time I've done it. Last time I made several different types, but only two stood out as the favorites.

One was a kind of asain sweet and spicy. The other was called dragon fire. I found both recipes on jerkaholics website.

So this time I'm combing the two recipes into my own and the only sweet dragon I know of is Toothless, outside of Puff. So that's what I'm gonna call it.


Lean Meat

1 lb Eye of round

Marinade

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 cup of soy sauce

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp cracked black pepper

2 tbsp of brown sugar

1 tbsp of kayro syrup

1/4 tsp of sesame oil

2 tsp of red pepper flakes

2 whole habaneros 3 if extra hot is wanted

1 tsp of dijon mustard

2 tbsp worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup cold water

1/4 tsp curing salt optional




I'll post more picks later. The amount of habaneros sounds absurd, but the last batch I made really wasnt that hot. It was the habernero flavor, not the heat that stood out. Even the kids loved it. I'm hoping this batch has the same results, cause the marinade was pretty spicy. We will see after its smoked and dried.

I use eye of round for my jerky and have never had a piece with that much marbling. I'll usually do a 3-4 lb. eye of round when I make jerky. '


A couple months ago Dorignac's in Metairie put eye of round roasts on sale for $2.79 a lb. and I picked up 4 of them to use just for jerky. I still have 2 of them in my freezer.

Got this one from Sam's club for 2.88 a lb. It's actually bottom round.

It does have a lot more marbling then the last one I got from there. Gonna vacuum seal and store in the garage fridge. So it should be ok.

Looks like it's good enough to eat.

When I make mine, I use a whole eye of round roast and can get 40+ pieces out of it when cut about 1/4 inch thick.

When done, I'll put some in the fridge for eating in the first few days and then will put some in freezer bags and get as much air out as possible and freeze it for later use. I really need to get me a vacuum sealer for things like that to be honest.

I got a big one from sam's, 12 pounds. I cut it in half and vacuum sealed the other half to do a roast with. Each tray has about 20 pieces on it and I've done 8 trays and still have about one or two left to do.


It came out spicier than last time, but not too hot. Great habanero flavor. Definitely could have used more salt so I sprinkled some on the second round. I will do more kayro and brown sugar next time too. Lost alot of the sweetness.

All done. Ended up with about a gallon ziplock bag full. Started with about 6 pounds or so. Just have to vac seal.
