The American dried meat can now be found in every supermarket and is a real trend snack. It is so popular because of its intensely spicy taste and it is also a good source of protein. We have a recipe for beef jerky to go with it:
It is best to wear gloves to do this, because this way as few bacteria as possible get onto the meat. Remove the fat from the beef and slice it as thinly as possible against the fibre. About 2-3 mm is best.
For the beef jerky marinade, peel the garlic and ginger and then grate finely. Add this to the meat with raw cane sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcester sauce, salt and pepper. Mix the meat with the marinade and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Remove the meat from the refrigerator and drain in a sieve. Then place it on the rack of the dehydrator and dry it at 70°C for 10-12 hours.
When the beef jerky has finished drying in the dehydrator, remove it from the grid. Now it can be kept for 2-3 weeks. Now you can snack on the sofa in the evening!
