TERIYAKI BEEF JERKY


A teriyaki, soy sauce, orange juice, and honey marinade flavors beef jerky made from London broil. Plan ahead to marinate overnight as well as 8 to 12 hours of drying time. You may make this jerky in a standard oven or in a dehydrator.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours

Total Time: 8 hours, 15 minutes (Or less)

Ingredients:
•1 Tablespoon brown sugar
•1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
•1 teaspoon onion powder (not onion salt)
•1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
•1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•2/3 cup bottled teriyaki marinade
•1/2 cup of no-pulp orange juice
•1/4 cup of water
•1 Tablespoon honey
•1 teaspoon soy sauce
•1 teaspoon liquid smoke
•1 pound London broil, sliced across the grain into 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick strips

Preparation:

If you partially freeze the beef just until ice crystals form, it will be much easier to cut the thin strips.

In a medium, nonreactive bowl, whisk together brown sugar, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper. Add teriyaki marinade, orange juice, water, honey, soy sauce, and liquid smoke. Whisk until salt has dissolved.

Place London broil beef strips in a large freezer ziptop bag. Add marinade to the bag, seal, and toss to coat the meat. Unseal, squeeze out all the air, reseal, and refrigerate 24 to 36 hours.

Pat strips dry with paper towels. Distribute beef strips in a single layer on dehydrator racks. Dry for 4 to 8 hours, turning racks every hour, and turning jerky strips over midway through the drying process.

When done, the jerky should have no signs of redness and be pliable enough to bend in half without breaking.

Tried your jerky recipe with some top round that I got in the sale/clearance rack at Safeway. Made a triple batch because 1 pound would last about 5 minutes between my son and I. Man, did it turn out good! Thanks for the recipe, it's a keeper! :applause: :thumbsup:

I make my own teriaki sauce. 50% water, 50% soy sauce, a bunch of crushed garlic, and a bunch of sliced ginger, and a little sugar. I'm not too particular on the amount of garlic, ginger, and sugar. More is better, IMHO.

I marinate tri tip pieces and chicken pieces for about a day and then make shiskabobs with onion, fresh pineapple, bell peppers, mushrooms, and the chicken and steak. Cherry tomatoes don't hold up well

Normally I find tri tip a bit tough. After the marinade you can cut it easily with a fork.

I let whole chicken breasts marinate for two days. Potent.

Cheers,

Gus

London Broil was on sale at Safeway a couple of weeks ago, but was off sale when I came upon this recipe. Don't know if you have Safeway where you are but they always have a section at the meat counter with meat nearing the sales expiration date that you can get from 30%-50% off. This is the first place I go when I go to Safeway and have picked up some really good steaks, lamb chops, pork chops, chicken, etc at significant savings. Never had any problem with any of the meat.
This time I found top round steak at 50% off and bought 3 pounds to try out the jerky recipe. Wish I had bought more cause the jerky is awesome.....

my daughter picked me up a london broil last night. so i am not sure if it was on sale or not. doubt it. but i put it in the freezer (to make it easier to slice) and i forgot about it. so now i have it out, waiting on it to become sliceable. :lol:

i can't wait to try it.

i am using my oven though, so the instructions use a hydrator. i don't have one of those, i plan to use my oven. what do i do with that? temp and how long?

Already went through the first batch, time to make more! This is the best jerky I have had - beats the commercially prepared stuff hands down, and the texture/moisture content is just right - not too dry and still satisfyingly chewy. :D

I marinated for about 10 hours overnight and used my Ronco (!) dehydrator for another 10 hours or so, being careful to rotate the shelves every hour or two and also turning the meat at least once.
