The Marmite Jerky is done! Only did a bit for fun.
The Piri Piri, Sweet Chilli Mango, Worcester Sauce and Herbs and the Hickory Liquid Smoke have just gone in. Only another 2kg to start processing! I hope you are going to want all this now I've made it and the smoky bacon.
I need to get a pet again, I trim quite hard.
I may get another marinade when I go shopping, Bovril perhaps! Some more Teriyaki probably, maybe more Piri Piri.
Some of these are going to normal dry jerky, some a little tacky from using spicy BBQ sauce etc which is designed to really soak in. I doubt any is going to long term storage!
I have found that aiming for mid to high range beef quality is better. The small amount of value steak I have tried working with, just not up to it in my opinion. Of course with squirrel you don't get a lot of choice. I wonder what rat is like, I'll have to pop down to the pet shop! Hmm, and there are way to many cats round my way. Chinese curry flavour anyone?
