      Title: Leroy Terry's Beef Jerky
 Categories: Beef, Preserving, Marinades
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
      2 lb Beef brisket
    1/3 c  Soy sauce
      2    Cloves garlic; crushed
    1/8 ts (ea) Salt & pepper
  1 1/2 ts Brown sugar
           Toothpicks
 
  Look for a good lean trimmed brisket, or have your
  butcher trim it for you. You want to get as much fat
  trimmed off as possible. At home, trim again to get all
  the fat off. A bottom round can be used, but brisket is
  better.
  
  With a very sharp knife or electric knife, cut into thin
  (1/8") strips the length of the brisket.
  
  Combine soy sauce, garlic, salt, pepper and sugar. Pour
  over strips and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes. You can
  marinate longer in the refrigerator, but the longer the
  stronger. Sometimes I substitute liquid smoke for the
  soy and just brush it on instead of letting it stand.
  Because you are just drying the meat instead of cooking,
  the liquid smoke can be too strong if you marinate.
  
  Stick a toothpick through the end of each strip. Put a
  rack in the top most part of the oven. Place a shallow
  baking pan covered with foil below the rack (to catch
  drippings.)
  
  Arrange the strips, hanging down through the rack with
  toothpicks across the rack bars. Keep them separated and
  not touching each other.
  
  Set oven @ 150oF/66oC and leave for 8 to 10 hours. If
  your oven is too hot, leave the door slightly ajar.
  Drying time will vary depending on humidity and fat
  content of meat. When drying is complete, the fat will
  not be dripping from meat anymore. If still dripping,
  let dry some more.
  
  Once removed from the oven, cool and store in an open
  container to allow drying to continue; seal the
  container to preserve further drying.
  
  Refrigerate for long storage.
