I tend to overdo seasonings when I cook.
I just bought a Nesco dehydrator (model FD-61) and I'm trying to get some whole muscle jerky recipe's down.
My first attempt with a prepackaged, wet teryacki marinade (doctored up with some liquid smoke and vinegar) was ...eh. Okay to eat but not what I want to do going forward.
I've been trying to collect some basic Jerky recipe's but most of the one's I've got so far don't include smoke, and I like smoke flavor.
My next batch is going to be 3 lbs of beef. I'm going to use a home brew mix of dry cure #1, dry cure meat tenderizer then pickling in Soy sauce (Hoshin), Worchester Sauce (Lea and Perins) with some salt, garlic powder, Oregeno powder, onion powder, dark corn syrup, and maybe some paprika. (all flavors I like in other things)
Any comments on the mix and proportions would be appreciated.
More specifically, how much Liquid Smoke should I use per Pound?
Some recipes I've seen say use the whole bottle. Is that reasonable given you're experience?
I know it's a matter of personal taste; but I'd like the benefit of your experience.
Thanks
