Beef Stew (Photo credit: avlxyz)
Cooking your own special kind of jerky is easier than you think and is a filling snack. You will be able to use most types of cuts of beef and wild game primarily deer, elk or moose.
For the hunters, if you have them in your family, this is a great way to use the meat from what they have brought home from a hunting trip. From the corner store, steaks, roasts, sirloin tip or round steak are good choices.
Pick out a lean piece of your meat choices and trim off all the visible fat, connecting tissue and tendons. Put the deer in the freezer compartment for one or two hours helps make it easier to slice into strips that are closer to the same size. ? Cut the deer into one eighth to one fourth or less inch thick strips. The slices can be made with or against the grain.
Most folks prefer to put a marinade on the beef to improve the flavor. You can buy these or you can make them yourself quite simply. Making your own also lets you use less salt but still get the flavour. Most recipe books will give you a variety of recipes that may be used to soak meat.
Prepare the sauce and let it set through the night in the regriderator is the most common suggestion to have the flavors mix and the flavours to blend together well. Then place the sauce over the deer and let it set for 45-60 minutes before adding the strips onto the dehydrator trays.
Then follow the selected time from the dehydrator cook book that came with your unit. Customarily 8 hours is the smallest amount of time but your cut of beef might require more. Just monitor the progress and you can record that in your private dehydrating recipe book of your own faves.
Jerky is the best to carry and eat on when your list is busy and you just desire a lift of energy while you are on a busy schedule. Home made jerky is without the chemicals and high salt content often frequently found in packaged jerky.
For those on lower carbohydrate diets, jerky is a good high lean protein treat to satisfy the desire for food without the extra carbohydrates. Models often eat jerky to give them energy during their hectic modeling schedules because it is a good source of protein and promotes a sense of fullness. The minimum fat content helps keep calories down and that means a healthier snack than other choices.
Regularly regarded as just something that was just eaten by the cowboys in the western films, jerky is still a great easy to carry food today that might be taken along during the day for another pick me up or while hiking and camping. It is often a sensible choice for lunches and for munching.
Using your dehydrator is one of the finest ways to fix this present day snack to have for your busy lifestyle and to carry with you during your activities. We used to actually love taking it along when we went to the sports events we attended and occasionally it went to the films with us as a easy satisfying lowcal food.
Beef jerky is something that heaps of people buy dehydrators especially for. Thinly cut deer prepared with an application of oils, herbs, spices and other flavors. These are placed in the dehydrator until chewy. These foods might also be placed in the freezer for even a longer period of longevity. Definitely a treat to plan to make.
