Spicy Beef Jerky
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the meat in the freezer for an hour or so, until it is very firm-but not frozen-to make slicing easier.
- With a long, sharp knife, cut the meat into diagonal slices less than 1/4 inch thick.
- Lay the slices flat in a large glass or enamel baking dish.
- Combine the red wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, garlic, chili sauce and garlic.
- Pour over the meat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for about 4 hours (overnight works best), turning the slices several times to coat.
- Remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with absorbent paper towels.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on wire racks (such as those used for cooling cakes and cookies) and set the racks on foil-covered baking sheets (to catch the drips).
- Place in a 175° oven for about 2 or 3 hours, until dry and dark brown, but still pliable.
- Watch it closely; during the last half hour or so the meat can burn quickly.
- Let cool completely, then store airtight.
