PSMF Recipe – Korean Bul-Go-Gi and Taco Flavored Beef Jerky

Protein Sparing Modified Fast

Two recipes for flavored beef jerky.  One using a Korean Bul-Go-Gi (불고기) inspired marinade and the other using a Taco seasoning flavor.

First the Korean Bul-Go-Gi marinade.  Very easy marinade to make

1/2 C. Soy Sauce
1/2 C. Water
2 pkgs Artificial sweetner (I prefer NatraTaste)
2 cloves Garlic – minced
1/2 bunch Green Onions – chopped
Black pepper to taste

Now for the Taco flavored marinade

2 t. Morton Hot Salt
2 T Chili Powder
1 t Garlic Powder
1 t Cumin
2 t Onion Powder
4 T Apple Cider Vinegar
1 C. Water
1/2 Med Onion – diced

To add a little heat mix in 1 T Tobasco

Place the above mixes in ziploc freezer storage bags along with 1 pound of very thinly sliced flank/flap meat(trim as much fat away from the meat as you can) and make sure the meat is coated thoroughly.  Squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible and place laying flat in the refrigerator for 24 Hours

After marinating for 24 hours (or more) remove meat from the storage bags and pat dry to remove the excess moisture and the diced onions, etc…

Arrange the strips of beef on the racks of your dehydrator and run it per the manufacturers directions.

I like to turn the strips over every hour or so while they are drying.  Note that I also will put a few “smaller” pieces on the top rack so I can sample bits for doneness
