Original Peppered Beef Jerky
This stuff never lasts long, and the best part is it only requires a couple ingredients. I use an Excalibur Dehydrator for my jerky, but it can also be made in a smoker or oven on low heat.
2lbs top round, london broil, or lean cut of beef
1 bottle Allegro Marinade
1 cup coarse black pepper
1tbsp red pepper flakes (optional)
STEP 1:
Slice the beef as thin as possible, with the grain.
STEP 2:
Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board or counter top. Lay pieces of sliced beef on half the plastic wrap. Fold plastic wrap over, to cover the pieces of beef. Pound flat with the flat side of a meat tenderizer, then set that batch aside and continue with all slices.
STEP 3:
Combine Allegro marinade, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional, for extra spice).
STEP 4:
Combine meat and marinade. Mix thoroughly with hands, making sure all pieces are evenly coated. Leave in refrigerator 6-8 hours or overnight.
STEP 5:
Remove from marinade, and place in dehydrator. Dehydrate on high for about 3 hours or until desired doneness.
