Tatonka jerky

[someAZdude]

Been busy and this was done on a whim after seeing the bacon post so.....
Pictures will be lacking.
What I did was slice some meat by hand. Little over 2 lbs. Mixed together 3 T of Tatonka with 1 T of tenderquick. Sprinkle some on the bottom of the container, layer the meat, and add a fair amount of good quality honey. Then repeat the steps. After it was in the fridge for about 8 hours or so I mixed it all up real good and then 8 hours later, did the same again. I plan on hitting it with a few hours of cold smoke and then into the dehydrator. Just a small batch to see how it turns out so.......I'll let ya know :D



This pick was after the first 8-10 hours right before I mixed it the first time.

I like the jerky pan setup....

Yeah, I thought about it but the Tatonka dust has a fair bit of salt and I am using TQ as the cure so more salt. I figure the sweet will help with the curing and the salt so that's the route I went. We'll see. Think I'll need some cure #1 in the future as the Dust is fairly salty to me to begin with. Anyway, just something to try on a whim :)

Sounds good!

I gotta say man. It smells amazing! Had my wife and daughter both walk in at different times and say that the jerky smells fantastic! Can't wait to try some. It is in the dehydrator now. Only hit it with 2 hours of smoke due to time constraints. I usually do 4 hours...

Na, Father in Laws Annual B-Day get together. He likes to go to Laughlin and I drive him a couple times a year as he can't drive for that long. He feeds my wife's machine and we get comps for rooms and food as we spend good money while there. If bike week is this coming week it will be fun for me as I enjoy bikes and look forward to it.
