Title: Dry Cured Jerky
Post by: SamuelG on June 27, 2012, 08:15:39 PM
Here I go again...

Mixed up the dry cure and ground to a fine dust.  Used salt, brown sugar, black pepper, pepper flakes, garlic and cure#1.

Use a mask or respirator...don't ask me how I know!!!

Layered the meat in a pan and sprinkled  both sides.

Mixed in a zip lock bag and applied the left over cure.

I'll let it rest about in the fridge for about 24 hours and then smoke.

I'm going to keep my eye on this, this looks like this is going to turn out good. Im wondering how dry this jerky will end up being though.

How did you grind all of this?

Looks like a good start Sam. A mask would take away all of the fun and then you wouldn't have the memories that you do now! :o

Looks like a nice simple mix. Would you mind giving the amounts of the ingredients and meat.
Some of the best homemade jerky I ever had was with just the same ingredients you listed. Minus the pepper flakes. :)
Looking good!

Red Pepper Flakes "dust" can be a "tearfully" fun!

Very basic for 2lbs

2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon brown sugar
*** I added cure to this ***

Grind to a fin dust

This is what I'm working with on this test run.

Gave it an extra 45 min @ 160 just in case.  Best jerky I've made.

That's looks great. Sometimes simple is best. ;). So now to figure out how much cure for 2lb. Guess I'll start with half the amount used for 5 :)
