which I’ll leave a link up here give ita click go and check it out he’s got
heaps of awesome recipes this one is therig hand which is my favorite it’s got a
bit of Worcestershire sauce soy saucereally good if you haven’t done so
already hit that subscribe button so youdon’t miss any future videos but without
further ado let’s get into this videohere we have the meat I’m going to use
for the jerky today it’s just a beef topside roast we have to cut off all this
fat here so if there’s any fat in thereor just ended up going rancid all right
so that’s looking good a little bit ofsilver skin and fat on there but that’s
fine let’s cut these little bits offall right so now it’s time to slice the
jerky up I don’t worry too muchwhether I’m cutting with the green or
against the grain like slicing yourjerky with the grain you’re going to get
a tougher jerky cutting it against theground you’re going to get it a bit
softer so I just cut these sort ofquarter of an inch thick thicker you
make them obviously the one where it’sgoing to take to dry okay so here we
have a measuring jug I’m just going toput quarter of a cup of soy saucequarter of a cup of Worcestershire saucetwo teaspoons of brown sugara teaspoon of black pepper I use crack
pepper for this it just gives it a nicetexture in the endso we had a teaspoon of salt and I’m
just going to put a pinch of cayennepepperand that’s it we’ll just give it a quick
stir up break up all that brown sugarand now we’ll add that to the meat pour
it all over thereso this is where we get our hands dirty
get them in there give it a good stir ohjust make sure every surface of that
meat is in the marinadeyouso now cover it in cling wrap put it in
the fridge in tomorrow morning we’ll putit out on the smokernow we’ve got the meat out of the
refrigerator it’s been in thereovernight it’s been about 16 hours now
I’m just going to lay down some papertowels and just put their meat on there
so it soaks up a bit of their marinadeand it’s not gonna take so long to dry
just lay the meat on the paper as flatas you can and then you don’t have to
get too carried away with us there we goand now just put a paper towel on top
that’s it now we’ll just pull that offand put all the meat strips into a bowl
and then we can take it out to thesmoker just have to try not to pick up
any bits a towel stuck to the meat allright all done
let’s carry the smoker so here we areoutside at the pellet grill and I’ve got
the pit-bosssit on smoke which will hopefully cook
me about 75 degrees for the cook I mayhave to adjust the piece sitting
throughout the cook but I will just keepchecking on that so now we’ll get the
meat on we’re just gonna lay it out asflat as we can we’re not going to
overlap anything it doesn’t matter toomuch if the pieces are touching because
as it dries they’ll shrink and it willincrease that gap between the piecesthe good thing with the pellet girl has
said that fan does circulate the airthrough there really well which is a
problem you can have with charcoalsmokers so now we’ve got that on there
nice and flat and a single layer and nowI’ll close the pellet smoker up and I’ll
give it five hours I’ll just keepchecking on that piece sitting
throughout the clip to make sure it’smaintaining 75 degrees but I’ll see you
on five hours so now it’s been fivehours that nice and smoky now I have
turned these once during the cook sowe’ll just pick them up take them inside
and we’ll go and try it out alright guysso after five hours on the smoker the
beefs finally ready so let’s give it ago so here’s a piece of jerky give it a
bean test that’s pretty good should bendand expose those white fibers but not
snap if it snaps it’s too dry if itbends without showing those white fibers
it’s it’s not try enough so there’s afine line there let’s give it a tasteit’s good it’s got that smokiness from
the hickory smoke on the pit-boss I’llput a list of ingredients in the
description but go and check out thejerkyholic website lots of great
