Title: DRY CURE SOUTHWEST JERKY
Categories: Meats
Yield: 1 servings

1 ts Salt
1 ts Pepper
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
3 tb Chili powder
2 ts Cumin
2 Cloves garlic minced
2 lb Steak sliced thinly

Combine ingredients and thoroughly mix together. This
is a dry marinade so there is no liquid. Sprinkle the
spice mixture on the meat slices and work into the
grain with your fingers. Cover and marinate overnight.
Place trays in the oven and dry at 145'F. for first 4
hrs. then set oven 130'F. until dry.(4 to 8 hrs.)
Jerky should be hard but not brittle. Blot up any fat
that appears with paper towels. *For a chewy texture,
slice the meat with the grain, or across the grain for
more tender jerky. Thats all! It may take a few trys
to figure out exactly how long to dry the meat, but
you're still eating while you're trying so it's not
that bad. Well, good luck, I hope that you like it.
And, sorry this note is so long.
