Ingredients
Chuck Roasts
4 lbs (Cut into strips)
Allegro Seasoning and Marinade
1 (18 ounce) bottle (For marinating)
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
To taste (Sprinkle on top)
Instructions
1
Start by cutting the chuck roasts into thin, uniform strips to ensure even marinating and drying.
2
Place the beef strips into a large Ziploc bag and pour the Allegro seasoning and marinade over the meat, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
3
Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the meat to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
4
After marinating, preheat your dehydrator or oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
5
If using a dehydrator, arrange the marinated meat strips on the trays in a single layer. If using an oven, line a cookie sheet with foil and place the strips on the sheet, making sure they are not touching.
6
Sprinkle the strips with crushed red pepper flakes, adjusting the amount to your desired spice level.
7
Dehydrate in the dehydrator for 12 hours or place the cookie sheet in the oven with the door slightly ajar to allow moisture to escape. Cook for about 12 hours or until the jerky is dry and chewy to your liking.
8
For a unique twist, during the winter months, feel free to substitute chuck roasts with venison roasts for a different and delightful flavor.
