hi it's AlaskaGranny today I am going to rev up my
masterbuilt smoker and make
flank steak jerky the marinade is very simple
it only required a few simple ingredients
marinade is so simple
two-thirds cup of soy sauce two-thirds cup worchestershire
1 tablespoon of honey 2 teaspoons pepper
2 t onion powder and 1 t red pepper flakes
measure wet ingredients
spices stir together
whisk the flavors blend
I prepare the meat you want flank steak
pretty much frozen to make sure
it stays together
so it's mostly frozen to still be
flat
open it out
slice it with the grain
bacon size
take slices
dip them right into the marinade
you can also put your flank steak
and your marinade in a ziploc bag squeeze out air
seal it carefully and flatten it out
get marinade all over
take out the racks before you turn it on
put foil down
put an aluminum pan in here it fits perfectly
catches all the drips
saves clean up
turn smoker to 180 degrees I don't think
I get enough smoke flavor at less than 200
so I place cold smoker
on the side
add chips at the same time
you want the jerky to be dry drain the excess liquid
lay out the strips
pat them dry
want to dry
spread it out in the pan pat with paper towel
lay it in a single layer
pat it with paper towel to remove excess
moisture
my favorite way to dry jerky is to suspend it from a rack
skewer each piece on a wooden skewer
and place on a rack so each piece
drapes down and can dry individually
meat is all hung the smoker is up to temperature
its time to slide the rack into the smoker and let time do its magic
its been about 8 hours the jerky is done
I brought the rack in the house to cool
now I am going to take it off pull the skewers off
slide your jerky off onto a dish
continue air dry you will know it's done
when it's still is
meaty flexible but it's not oily
this is my favorite ways to make jerky
