Beef Jerky: Healthy Snacks you can do at home

Most people donâ € ™ t dry meat when they are trying reach a healthy, filling, low calorie snacks. Dried meat is also high in protein and low in fat. Best of all, you can make your own in 5 easy steps.

STEP 1: Select Choose lean cuts of beef are best for ease of preparation and taste. ™ € You can not go wrong with the sirloin, top round or eye round. But donâ € ™ t forget! Although jerky is traditionally made using beef - turkey, chicken, venison and fish are sudden delicious bite to Wona ™ € t want to miss!

STEP 2: Cut the meat Cut the meat into thick slices about 1/8A €, reduced all the fat on the fly. You can cut with or against the grain of the meat € | Some say the cut strips against the grain that are a little more easy jerky chewing. And Hereâ € ™ sa trick of the trade! Freeze meat for 20-30 minutes before carving to make this step a breeze!

STEP 3: marinate meat This is my favorite step € | Be creative! Place meat in a bowl and cover with whatever you want! Try a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, freshly ground pepper and water for a sweet or a little sharp kick with your favorite bottle of spicy marinade, some cayenne pepper flakes and a good 20 shakes of Louisiana Hot Sauce! Place in refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours to allow the meat to absorb the flavor. Check out http://www.jerky.com/Beef-Jerky-Recipes.html for some great tasting ideas.Â

Step 4: dehydrate meat Preheat oven to 150 degrees. Place strips of meat on a wire rack on a foil lined cookie sheet and place in oven. Keep the oven door slightly cracked during drying to let out extra moisture. If you are doing your uneven in a dehydrator, place meat evenly on racks, making sure the strips are not touching. Now remembered € | this step takes time. The perfect inequality can take from 6 to 12 hours to complétée € | but trust me - itâ € ™ s worth the wait! Start checking the often jerky after 6 to 7 hours. Your will be uneven when it appears firm and dry. It must bend to the cracks a bit, but it should complement by half.

STEP 5: If you keep the meat is anything like me and eat their unequal in days, you can store in a sealed container or sealed plastic bag at room temperature. Moreover, uneven placement in plastic bags and store in refrigerator or freezer will ensure freshness for several months!

STEP 6: ENJOY! I know, I I know! He said â € € œFive Easy Steps and I really six! But this doesn t ™ € requires no work at all! Enjoy its jerky € | what you do! Dona € ™ t forget that itâ € ™ s healthy! High in protein and low in fat. So if itâ € ™ sa for a snack, a snack to pack the camping gear or a â € ~ ExtrAA € ™ € ™ in the kids lunchbox ... after making your own corned beef, all you have to do is enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
