Greetings, fellow jerky enthusiasts! I'm Doug from Jerky.com and today we're taking a deep dive into a rather unique creation: Garlic Mustard Beef Jerky. This recipe promises a burst of robust flavors and a culinary adventure you won't forget.

Ingredients

We kick off the process with the following ingredients for the marinade:

1/2 cup Dijon Mustard

2 tablespoons Minced Garlic

1/2 cup Soy Sauce

1/4 cup Worcestershire

1/4 cup Water

1 tablespoon Garlic Powder

1 tablespoon Onion Powder

1 teaspoon Black Pepper

1 teaspoon Salt

2 teaspoons Liquid Smoke

And of course, the star of our dish - 2 lbs of pre-sliced iron round beef, conveniently bagged and ready for action!

Preparing the Marinade

The preparation is hands-on, but simplicity is key. Start by ensuring the pre-sliced meat pieces aren't sticking together. Next, blend all the ingredients ensuring the dry ones dissolve perfectly into the liquid. Your objective is to achieve an even marinade that coats every piece of meat uniformly.

Marination and Refrigeration

Once your marinade is ready and the meat is well-coated, cover the mixture and pop it into the refrigerator.

Dehydration Process

In the meantime, it's time to prep your dehydrator or oven. When laying out the meat, make sure the pieces aren't folded over on themselves or touching - you want to ensure an even airflow around each piece.

Remember to consider your machine's capacity as well - you don't want to find yourself running out of space halfway through the process.

Temperature and Time Settings

Next, set your time and temperature according to your preference. I personally like to set my dehydrator to 140 degrees and start checking the jerky around the 3.5-hour mark to prevent over-drying.

Tasting and Feedback

After about 4 hours, it's time to taste the Garlic Mustard Beef Jerky. The balance of flavors and the subtle notes of garlic create a truly unique taste. Although the jerky might seem a bit dry, the texture and pliability remain intact.

You might find that the garlic is quite subtle with the mustard flavor taking the foreground. If you like, feel free to adjust the proportions to better suit your taste.
