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.

Spicy Baked Beans

Tangy and sweet old-fashioned baked beans with a little spicy jalapeño. They're easy to make and great at a barbecue, hamburger night, a picnic, etc. My husband's favorite semi-homemade recipe. Says the sweetness and fire create a super depth of flavor. It's not strong enough to overwhelm the sweet home-style of baked beans.

Chicken Chimichangas

Tortillas filled with a chicken, rice, beans and olive mixture - rolled, fried and topped with a piquant avocado mix, sour cream and cheese, all served on a bed of lettuce. Being raised 12 miles from the border of Mexico, I was brought up on Mexican food and learned how to make many of the dishes.
