Good. Bad. Odd.

Recently, I’ve been on a beef jerky tip as my wife is pregnant and I’ve been looking for ways to supplement her iron intake.  Beef Jerky can be a healthy and delicious snack and there are some amazing tangy, spicy recipes out there.  It’s really easy to make, and there isn’t a huge amount of actual work that goes into it, it just takes a lot of time to make it right.  During my recipe research, I stumbled across this video from Epic Meal Time, the boys and girls that have previously brought us some incredibly meaty and baconized versions of a turkey dinner.  In this video, they make a processed mess of cheeseburger flavoured goodness.  Points for creativity Mook!  Here’s how to make their cheeseburger beef jerky.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of top round steak
  • 1 cup pureed onions
  • 1 cup relish
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup mustard
  • 2 packages powdered cheese (stolen from boxes of Kraft Dinner)

 

Directions

  1. Mix ingredients for the marinade and put into a large ziploc bag
  2. Add thin slices of beef.  It helps to freeze the beef for 30-45 minutes for easy slicing.
  3. Refrigerate overnight.
  4. Bake on the lowest possible heat setting (160 degrees) on a baking sheet, preferably on a rack.
  5. Allow to dry on parchment paper if available.

Here’s the video from Epic Meal Time that walks you through the steps.
