Jerky Boys

With the weather improving more people are traveling and whether it be by foot or airplane you need to carry provisions. Jerky is compact, lightweight and calorie dense. Commercial made jerky is contains several unpronouncable ingredients so I prefer to make my own. This is my current favorite recipe- kind of a combination of pepper steak and african biltong.

Beef Jerky

3 pounds lean beef sliced thinny with the grain
1 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup worchestershire sauce
2 cloved garlic smashed

 Combine everything in a zip top bag and marinate overnight- longer is better. Place meat on dehydrator trays and sprinke with fresh ground black pepper and ground coriander. Dry for 6-10 hours depending on you dehydrator and humidity. The jerky should be dry but not brittle.
