OBS Teriyaki Beef Jerky Nuggets

muebe · June 13, 2011, 07:29:13 AM

Well it was that time again. Time for more Beef Jerky Nuggets. The last batch I made was mediocre due to the inferior meat >:( So this time I used the Costco meat again and will not make that mistake ;) Started with a little over 5lbs of chunked stew meat from Costco. There was not much trimming required just some cutting of the larger pieces. The nuggets were vacuum marinated and then rested in the fridge for about 8 hours in a mixture of Soy Vay Veri Veri Teriyaki, Cure#1 and a little cayenne for spice. Then placed in the Bradley with the PID set at 150F and the convection fan on overnight for 8 hours. With one hour of mesquite and one hour of Pecan for two hours total smoke time. I normally just smoke them in the Bradley and then the rest of the time in the dehydrator but with the swamp cooler on in the house the humidity is way too high inside right now to dehydrate...plus I have the convection fan on the OBS so I figured it is a large dehydrator now ;D

After 6 hours I woke up and pulled them out. They were coated with more Soy Vay and then back for 2 more hours in the OBS for the finish. These are the best I have made so far. Moist and tender nuggets that are just like beef candy. I had a nice even dry across all trays and did not have to worry about rotating them. The convection fan worked perfectly for dehydrating ;D

Them nuggets turned out looking pretty great. How many are left after the taste test?

Chris I have to watch how many samples I test for quality control so there was quite a bit left to bag. There is a high demand for these nuggets from friends and family so they do disappear pretty quickly ;D

I used to get the big jug from Costco but they recently stopped carrying it. So now I buy the small bottles from Vons market.
