Beef Jerky: List of Ingredients to Make This Yummy Delicious Snack

 Well, I was myself an enormous fan of beef jerky since my school days and during the winter season, this snack scored high for being present on our breakfast table almost every day. My mom would make it in batches so that even my cousins who used to visit us during Christmas Holidays can enjoy the homemade jerky. Over time, things changed, we left our homes to build a life, a good career and it became tough to manage time for visiting home for holidays. Now, we do call our parents to our place and celebrate the holidays with the same all-time favorite snack. So, here I shall provide you a few tips on how you can make your favorite snack home and enjoy it.

 

List of Ingredients: The main ingredient is meat. You cannot make the jerky without meat stripes. You have to get the finest quality cured meat of your choice. Some people love Deer, some prefer steak whereas some like beef. Generally, people recommend lean meat, no matter which source you choose. You should cut the fat off because any large lump of fat will change the whole taste and those who prefer to stay low on carbs will not enjoy the snack. So, always take the low-fat lean meat which can be easily sliced into slim strips.

 

Marination: After you get the meat strips, the next step to my favorite black pepper jerky recipe is the marinade. I prefer a few but strong ingredients that are perfect to marinate the meat. You can choose the sauce of your choice like I pick soy sauce with black pepper, onion and ginger powder, liquid smoke, and seasoned salt. Once you marinade all of these together; keep some half crushed black pepper to sprinkle on the top.

 

In case you like your favorite black pepper jerky recipe to have some sweet texture, you can add a bit of maple syrup to it. I bet you will get an amazing flavor on your tongue.

Last, you need a dehydrator or oven that you can use to cook the meat stripes perfectly and turn them into a snack.
