JERKY RACK FOR OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Flash freeze beef for 20 minutes on cookie sheet during ingredient mixture.
• Mix ingredients in extra large bowl with whisk until completely blended.
• If beef is more than one inch thick, slice across to create equal thickness.
• Cut beef between 1/8 - 1/ 4 inch thick slices, in addition to trimming as much fat off the meat as possible.
• Incorporate beef into ingredients to cover.
• Marinate beef overnight.
• Pat dry beef slices and skewer beef onto bamboo, ensuring small space between slices for thorough dryness and leaving one inch on each end.
• Hang beef skewers across oven rack so beef hangs freely.
• Cover entire oven rack with skewers of meat.
• Place aluminum foil on oven rack #2 at very bottom of oven to help catch drippings.
• Set oven to lowest temperature (170 degrees in my case) and leave door ajar on hinge, letting beef sit for approximately 5-6 hours or until dry.
• Check beef a few times throughout to ensure it is not actually baking, but simply drying out.
• Once finished,
• Let beef skewers rest for 10 minutes after drying, and then remove skewers from oven rack and let sit on tray until cool.
• Remove beef strips from skewers and store them in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 300F.
• Use a small mixing bowl to combine the dry ingredients Monkfruit Erythritol Blend, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.
• In another mixing bowl, combine liquid ingredients soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
• Transfer the ground beef into a large mixing bowl, combine half of the dry and liquid seasoning and mix. Once mixed, pour the other half of the seasonings and continue to mix until well combined.
• Load the ground beef mix into the jerky gun as shown below.
• Use the jerky gun to create the beef strips/sticks on top of a baking rack as shown below.
• Bake at 300F for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, open oven door to let the moisture escape, reduce oven temp to 170F and cook for 2 hours and 30 minutes for beef strips and 3 hours for beef sticks.
• Let beef sticks cool before enjoying. We recommend storing in the fridge in an airtight container.
