Had my fiance's friend ask me if I could make her some jerky. She bought 3 lbs of London Broil and me a bottle of Hendrick's Gin for my troubles. YOU GOT IT I SAID. She said surprise me with the flavor as well. NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!
This started a 2 day 15lb jerky mission...
I absolutely love the Hi Mountain blend seasonings and normally do all my batches with them but as a base only. I always tweak the flavor to whatever I am trying out.
All types of jerky have been placed in the Bradley for 1 hour of dry time @ 150 degrees, then followed with smoke and time listed below at 160 degrees (rotating racks front to back top to bottom every hour), and then finished off in the 80L Cabela's dehydrator at 3-4 hours at 155 degrees.
I made 4 different kinds:
1 - Original (extra smokey)
2 - Sweet Heat
3 - Bourbon BBQ
4 - Mandarin Orange Teriyaki
1. Original (extra smokey)
5 lbs london broil, original Hi Mountain blend seasoning, 2 tbsp A1 marinade, 1 tsp season salt, 3 3/4 hours hickory smoke

NO MONEY SHOT ON THIS ONE, I HAD TO VAC SEAL AND SEND OFF EARLY IN THE AM WITH MY FIANCE TO GIVE TO HER FRIEND
(the rule is go buy me good booze and the turn around on your investment is almost immediate ;D 8) )
2. Sweet Heat
5 lbs london broil, sweet and spicy blend seasoning, 1/2 tbsp Jan's rub, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 1/4 cup honey, 3 tbsp red pepper flakes, 3 hours apple smoke

Key...Do you have a Smart and Final up there(or also called Cash and Carry). I buy Dales there by the quart and they carry the low sodium also. If they don't carry it, they should be able to order as it is in their system.
Great looking jerky.

My go to recipe's are always the Original and the sweet heat. My one best bud LOVED the Mandarin Teriyaki flavor though. He tells me that was the best one I have made yet, but then again he says that to me a lot. So either I keep outdoing myself, or he just can't get enough of the jerky I make.
