Muebe Nuggets

Thomas DeWitt · December 20, 2011, 10:25:35 PM

OK, so my wife loves Teriyaki beef jerky. She asked me to make some for her. I saw the Muebe nuggets and thought that would be perfect. So I bought some Costco Stew meat, 5 pounds. Cut it basically in 3rds and added 1 bottle of Sory Veri Veri and some Cayenne pepper and one teaspoon of cure #1. Now it is in the Reveo for 40 minutes. my question is this. Tomorrow, should I smoke it on Hickory for 2 hours or go straight to the dehydrator. My wife is not a huge smoke fan and this is for her. How much better is the smoker version VS the straight dehydrator. Just wondering as i don't want to do all the work of smoking if I am just wasting my time.

Love you guys,
Tom

Maybe hit it with 1 or 2 pucks of smoke for flavor, then into the dehydrator..

I have tried them with and without smoke and there is a difference to me. Like squirt said you might want to at least give them a puck or two of smoke. You can also use a lighter wood like Apple ;)

Ok. Went with the normal recipe and smoke then dehydrator. They are still dehydrating at 150. Any good way to tell when they are done. Besides eating them !

If your wife likes Teriyaki beef jerky give the ground beef jerky a try. I found that 3.3-3.5 oz Soy Vey per pound and about 3.5 tbs crushed red pepper per 10 pounds makes a great Teriyaiki jerky. I used 1 tsp. Cure # 1 / 5 pounds. I loved the simplicity and the excellent taste. Smoke for about 1-2 hrs and head for the dehydrator once the meat has started to get a little brown color.
by the way the nuggets look great.

Man, that looks good. Smoke for 1 to 2 hours at 170, dry at 150?

jjmoney, I don't have a dehydrator so I do all of my GB jerky in the OBS. I set the temp for 150 and roll the smoke. Personally I like lots of smoke and put 2 hrs of Hickory to them. I keept the cabinet temp at 150 the entire time. Rotate the racks top to bottom and front to back. Takes about 6 hrs to get them where they will bend and not break. I do have a fan kit in my OBS so that speeds the drying process up. Kirby's recipe for muebe GB jerky is spot on. Good luck and we like pictures.
