How To Make Delicious Gourmet Beef Jerky

By Carmella Watts


Most people like gourmet beef jerky. Processing the meat should be done properly. Start out by picking the right lean meat and proceed on trimming the fat. After that, cut the meat into thin strips, marinate and salt it, and then dry it as well. If the person can preserve the meat properly, then an excellent snack will be enjoyed.

There are two kinds of these delicious meat. One is the commercial product while the other one is the homemade product. The homemade product should be preferred more, though. After all, it is not only a safe meat to it but delicious as well. The flavor of the homemade one can be mixed according to the maker's personal tastes.

In order to get the best tasting homemade product possible, the first thing that the person has to do to preserve the meat is to observe its moisture and protein content. If the person watches the ratio of the moisture and protein in the meat, it will not be easy for any bacteria to grow on it. This means that the meat is safer after preserving it.

There is also a need to pick the right cut for the meat. The best choice that one can make use is the lean cut meat such as round eye, sirloin, or top round cut. Remove the fat of the meat too. It is also appropriate to chop the meat into slices. When slicing, make sure to decide whether wider strips are preferable or the thinner ones are.

If the person is slicing the said meat, it is a good idea to make use of a very sharp and thin knife. The best way for the person to slice the meat is to do it against the grain. There is a benefit to that, after all. Cutting the meat against its grain will surely make the slice of meat easier to chew when one is finished preserving it.

Marinade it as well. The meat strips should be properly soaked in marinade. Do this for half a day or for an entire night. Refrigerate this marinade as well. If the meat is marinaded properly, it should absorb whatever flavor the marinade is made of. This is also the best way for the person to cure the meat used in this meat preservation procedure.

There should be some preparations that one must do before drying the meat. To preserve the meat, one has to use a grill or an oven. Remember to heat the meat to about 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This should ensure the safety of the meat. Do not forget to sprinkle a little bit of salt on the meat to help it to dehydrate.

The preparations for this process should be carried out properly. After that, one has to think about the actual process. For the actually drying process, it is a must to apply a coat of non-stick cooking spray onto the rack before it is used for the said process. This is so that the meat do not stick to the rack unnecessarily.

Storing the meat is important as well. When it comes to the storage of the meat, one has to consider using plastic containers or bags. It should be well-refrigerated as well. Once this process is carried out properly, the gourmet beef jerky can be eaten in a one or two months.
