This is an excellent beef jerky recipe I have worked on for a long time to perfect. That great salty taste of beef jerky along with a slight spiciness and the occasional hot hit.

Jalapeno Roulette Beef Jerky
This is the best beef jerky ever, I have work on this recipe for a few years and finally gotten it settled into a recipe that produces the same excellent jerky time after time. The salty taste is offset by the slight spiciness and the occasional hot hit from the jalapeno peppers included.

Instructions
Preparing the Marinade
- Mix all ingredients into a bowl and set aside.
Preparing the Meat
- Let the steak warm a bit while you prepare the marinade
- Slice the steak thin and go across the grain when ever possible
- place all the meat into the marinade and mix well
- Place in fridge for min 24hrs up to 48 hrs
Dehydration
- Place all meat on dehydration rack and set temp to 148 deg to 160 deg and dry for 12 to 20 hrs until it hit the dryness you prefer.
- If you do not have a dehydrator you can do this in an oven set to 150 deg just place the meat on a drying rack that is on a cookie tray to catch the dripping juice.
