Jerky Recipes

 

• 1st recipe
• One 3-pound eye of round roast, trimmed of fat and silver skin 
• (I used venison)
• 1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon red pepper 🌶 flakes
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic 🧄  powder

2nd recipe

3 pound meat of choice

• (I used venison)

2 cups of soy sauce

Tbsp of Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp of liquid smoke

1/2 tbsp of garlic powder

1/2 tbsp of onion powder

1/2 tbsp of black pepper

• 
  

Directions

Put all the ingredients together to make the marinade. Then coat all the meat evenly. Put in the refrigerator and let it marinate for 12 - 24 hrs. I slice my mea at 1/8 in -1/4 in thick. Turn a couple times during that period. Once done either put in the oven for 3-4 hrs at 170° to 200°. I try to do the lowest my oven can go because we are not baking, we are dehydrating. You can use your smoker like we did most of it on and get that amazing smoke taste 👅. We did the smoker at 170 for 4 hrs.

Keep on counter for up to a week or put in fridge to prolong further. 

Spaghetti Sauce

I can’t believe I have not put this up until now. 

So without further ado, here is my recipe for spaghetti. I make it vegetarian for my canning, then I add meat when I am ready for dinner. I do this because when I canned this the first time with the meat, it seamed to dry out the meat. So now I add that after. 

Ingredients

1 cup Celery 
1 cup Carrots 🥕 
1 Onion 🧅 
1 cup Corn 🌽 
4 cups of tomato 🍅 (sauce)
1 Garlic 🧄 (to taste) I use a whole head 
1 tbsp of rosemary 
1 tbsp of Italian seasoning 
1 pound of Ground Meat 🥩 

Add it all to the pot if you are going to eat it and not can it. Cook until you can put a fork in the carrot. If you are going to can it, do not add the meat. 

For canning process in boiling water for 40 min. When done. Take out and put on a rack. Let it sit until cooled. When cooled, check to see if it has seeped properly. Look here to see how and all other important info on canning.
