Honeyed Ginger & Garlic Beef Jerky
Honeyed Ginger & Garlic Beef Jerky
A perfect fusion of rich soy, golden honey, zesty ginger, and aromatic garlic, creating a jerky that's irresistibly sweet, savoury, and delightfully nuanced with every bite. COOKING METHOD: Dehydrating
Equipment
- 1 Dehydrator
- 1 Meat Tenderizer
- 1 small saucepan
Ingredients
- 200 g lean beef (rouladin is easiest – otherwise slice other cuts into about ¼″ thick pieces)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp ginger, minced
Instructions
- 1. Combine all ingredients (except for beef) in a saucepan. Stir and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- 2. Slice beef into about ¼" thick slices (length does not matter) and tenderize with meat tenderizer. (Tenderize to obtain proper and even thickness, as well as to best allow marinade to soak into the meat; if using rouladin, you will likely only have to lightly tenderize as it's already desirably thin).
- 3. Slice into about 1″ - 2" wide pieces; length to preference.
- 4. Once marinade is cooled, place meat into a container with marinade. Gently stir and fold to ensure all meat is coated with marinade.
- 5. Let marinate in fridge for 12 hours. Meat will absorb much of the marinade and appear thicker.
- 6. Disperse in dehydrator and dehydrate at 160℉ for about 4-5 hours. When done, meat should be dry but pliable.
Notes
- Dehydrating time may vary (the thickness, water and fat content of the meat, as well as the humidity and altitude of your environment will impact dehydrating time)
- You can use 0.75 tsp garlic powder instead of fresh garlic;
- You can use 0.5 tsp ground ginger instead of fresh ginger. *If using ground ginger, omit bringing ingredients to a simmer. Simply combine all ingredients in a bowl for marinade (note: fresh garlic and ginger is highly recommended)
