Beef Brisket Jerky

Beef

Ingredients

3 Tablespoons brown sugar

1 Tablespoon Morton Tenderquick

1 Tablespoon chipotle powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

This was enough seasoning for two pounds of sliced brisket flat.

Mix the seasoning and brisket thoroughly and place in the refrigerator overnight to allow the cure to penetrate.

The next day place the seasoned brisket strips on a wire rack and proceed to dehydrate.

I dehydrate jerky by placing the tray in a 170F oven with the door cracked open by a wooden spoon.

This is also a great job for an electric smoker. You can also use a standard food dehydrator.

My method of using a 170F oven gets the jerky done in about 6 hours.

This stuff is beefy, sweet and spicy. The smoke flavor from the chipotle is a nice touch.

If you find yourself with an extra brisket flat on your hands you ought to give this a try!
