A few nights ago, at a Christmas party, a friend brought some in he had smoked on his Traegar smoker, and it was delicious! After picking his brain, I decided it had to be tried again.
Use meat low in marbling, it won't render down to less than what you purchased. He also used a jerky packet purchased at one of the local stores where barbecue supplies are sold.
Ingredients:
- 5 lbs of carne asada (I bought mine at Costco for 4.98/lb . . . cheap in comparison to the jerky you buy at the grocery store).
- 1 pkt "Jerky Cure & Seasoning" (about $6.00 - contents good for 15 lbs of meat). I was surprised at how many flavors are available. For this first attempt, I went with "Mandarin Teriyaki."
Preparations:
Follow the directions in the packet which include cutting the meat, mixing the ingredients, the curing the meat overnight in the fridge, then cooking it the next day. I smoked it at 200 degrees in my Traegar for about 2 hours.
I'll be sharing this with my son, son-in-law and daughter, and there will be plenty left over to enjoy during the Seattle Seahawks football game.
