UNCLE BILL'S MARINADE FOR BEEF JERKY

Steps:

• If using fresh fresh purchased meat, freeze partially for easy slicing.
• Slice meat approximately 1/8 inch thickness.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix together liquid smoke, soy sauce, sesame oil, tempura dipping sauce, minced garlic, garlic powder, brown sugar, pancake syrup and black pepper, mix well to blend using a whisk.

• Place sliced meat into marinade and marinate for at least 2 hours and even up to 4 hours.
• Place marinated slices on trays in dehydrator.
• If desired, sprinkle with additional black pepper to suit your own taste.
• The length of time to dehydrate depends on the type of a unit you are using.
• There are units available that have a built-in fan and this reduces the time by almost 50%.
• Generally, the time for dehydration will be from 6 hours to 16 hours.

UNCLE BILL'S SOY-GINGER MARINADE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, mix together all ingredients except beer; stir well.
• Now add beer and stir gently so the marinade does not foam too much.
• Prepare steaks,using a knife by scoring any fatty outside areas on steaks.
• This prevents the steaks from curling.
• Place steaks in a casserole dish.
• Pour marinade over and using a fork, punch holes in the steaks so the marinade penetrates the steaks; punch both sides.
• Cover and marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator before cooking.
• You may marinate for a longer period if desired.
• This marinade is also excellent for roasts.
• Barbecue or fry steaks to your desired doneness.
• You can also substitute and use a dry red wine instead of beer.
• Steaks should be about 1 inch in thickness.
• Rib-eye steaks can be marinated for a different flavor, but I do not recommend as the rib eyes are good with some pepper and granulated garlic powder.
• If you are using Chuck Steaks, I suggest that you marinate for at least 24 hours or longer.
• This marinade is excellent to marinate roast beef of your choice.
