Franklin Red Beef Jerky – A Sweet and Spicy Delight Inspired by the Franklin Mountains

We live beside the Franklin Mountains, and it is locally understood that “Franklin Red” refers to the reddish brown composition of the mountain that we all love so much. Hence, Franklin Red Beef Jerky! If you are up for a sweet and spicy treat, follow this recipe:

Instructions:

1. Slice the beef (with the grain) 0,6 cm thickness and place into a large ziplock bag.
2.  In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly.
3. Pour the mixture into the bag, zip, and massage for several minutes or until all of the beef has been covered in the mixture.
4. Place into the refrigerator for 24 hours. After 12 hours, invert the ziplock bag to ensure even distribution of flavor.Für 24 Stunden in den Kühlschrank stellen. Nach 12 Stunden den Ziplock-Beutel umdrehen, um eine gleichmäßige Verteilung des Geschmacks zu gewährleisten.
5.  After 24 hrs, place each slice of beef onto a flat firm surface or cutting board to pound the beef with a meat tenderizing mallet. To avoid splashing of the marinade, place the meat inside a heavy 6 litres ziplock bag, release all the air before sealing the bag, and then pound to tenderize.
6. Lay the slices on the drying rack with at least 5 cm between to ensure adequate airflow.
7. Set Brod & Taylor Sahara Dehydrator to 71°C for 6-8 hours.
8. ENJOY!
