At 01:15 AM 7/12/98 -0500, William Seibert gave us a recipe for wine
marinade for jerky.
I just got home from the store with my thin-sliced beef (not as thin as I
might like, about 1/4 to 1/5 inch, but that's a thin as the butcher would
slice it since it wasn't partially frozen. Thinner, he said, and I'd be
getting it back pulped.
Now, I don't have any red wine in the house. Two questions: can I do this
with sherry (which is what I do have) and if not, what kind of red wine are
we talking about? I wouldnt' hesitate to use sherry with chicken (which is
what I bought it for) but maybe not for red meat.
The recipe as originally given, for reference (since it was several days ago):
>Beef can be oven dried if you put it on a rack, rather than in a
>pan. However, there should be a pan under the rack in order to
>catch drips before they splatter the oven. The oven should be
>set at about 150 degrees F, and the meat tested about every
>hour. When it cracks instead of bends, its done. Of course, the
>thinner the stuff is sliced, the quicker it dries. One pound of
>beef should result in about 4 ounces of dried beef. Marinade
>recipes follow.
>
>Wine Marinade
>½ cup red wine
>1 tbsp red wine vinegar
>1 tbsp olive oil
>2 fresh cloves garlic, minced
>2 tbsp minced onion
>1 tbsp ground pepper
>pinch of thyme
>pinch of oregano
>pinch of marjoram
>
>Soak 2 lbs of thin sliced beef (cut against the grain) in salt
>water for 30 minutes; drain and rinse. Marinate in the above
>mixture for 48 hours in a sealed container (refridgerated).
>Drain, rack and dry.
>
>The above marinade may also be used for chicken, but the chicken
>must first be boiled off the bone in the marinade, then boned,
>drained and dried.
>
>Hope this works out for you. The chicken looks like wood chips
>when you're done with it, but makes an outstanding stew when
>boiled for 5 minutes with chopped onion and green peppers, and a
>little rice thrown in to thicken.
