I use Matt's jerky recipe for all of my elk, venison, and beef jerky, with excellent results. After making the jerky, I freeze or refrigerate it to prolong its shelf life.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef top round
- 0.67 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons finely ground black pepper
Instructions
-
1
Freeze beef about 20 minutes to make it easier to slice. Slice beef, against the grain, into strips about ¼-inch thick.
-
2
Whisk soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, liquid smoke, onion powder, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Add beef strips; toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator, stirring at least twice, for 18 to 24 hours.
-
3
Preheat a dehydrator to 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
-
4
Remove beef strips from marinade and shake off excess; arrange on dehydrator trays. Discard remaining marinade. Dehydrate beef strips until dried, about 8 hours.

Oatmeal Cream Pie
This recipe comes from my in-laws and it is one of a kind! The texture is great and each slice holds together nicely. Very reminiscent of pecan pie without the nuts. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or cold with some whipped cream on top! Warning: This pie is extremely sweet (and good that way)!
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls with Tomato Sauce
These stuffed cabbage rolls with tomato sauce feature a savory filling of ground beef, pork, and veal.
Kapusta
This delicious kapusta recipe was passed down by my Polish grandmother. I grew up eating it at every holiday meal. It's often served as a side dish but makes a great main dish for vegetarians. Sauerkraut takes on a whole new flavor when baked — try it and see for yourself!
