Waiting 8 hours is sooooo hard. Your home will be filled with a wonderful aroma (use your exhaust fan). I added about 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper and red pepper flakes. Delicious!
This turned out much better than I thought it would. However we used ground meat and let it marinate for almost 24 hrs(or basically "soak" up the marinade). Using a jerky press that we borrowed we made half into flat strips and the other half like ropes and deydrated them (it was already ground up-I doubt we'd get them to work very well in the oven as directed). The ropes turned out much better than the flat strips but they were tasty = slightly salty and hot yet sweet (from the brown sugar I assume). Thanks Pete! This worked well for us (even if we didn't follow the instructions exactly).
to plain and not much taste!...T-bird's is the best i have tasted!.. alot more flavor and only takes 3 to 4 hours in the oven
My family thought this recipe was better than the T-Bird's recipe for Beef Jerky.
I followed the recipe to the t. The marinated beef smelled so good! I used an "electric" oven. I keep my eye on the jerky hourly unfortunately it turned out very dry even when cutting back on baking time. I throw out the whole batch. It appears that those that liked this recipe had "dehydrarors. I think I will try the dehydrator method and may find I write a different review.
This recipe was really easy to do. Although I didn't marinade my meat over night ( about 20mins) it still turned out really good. I don't know how it is with the oven I used a dehydrator. I put it in there for about 7 hours and everything turned out really good. I would next time trying adding something different to the ingredient since the meat tasted like the store bought stuff. Maybe trying a different cut of meat.
It is pretty straight forward recipe and the results are great. I would of never thought you could make something like this without a dehydrator.
One of the benefits of this recipie is that all the salt in Soy sauce preserves it. You don't need to add any additional salt to this.
Kids probably shouldn't try to slice the meat but with a little help from mom or dad this is a fun recipe to try with kids. It's quick to get the meat slices in the oven but it's hard waiting for them to cook! Delicious!
