Beef Jerky

Hoosier Hill Farm Prague Powder No. 1 is also referred to as Tinted Cure or Insta Cure. It is an essential food preservative used for curing meats that require a wet curing process. This includes a variety of short cure preparations like sausage, corned beef, country ham, bacon, and a variety of fish. In addition, it can be used when making jerky or smoking meats. Made from a combination of table salt and sodium nitrite, curing salt prevents bacteria growth and food poisoning while maintaining your meat's flavor and appearance. Each container of Prague Powder holds enough to cure 100 pounds of meat.

How to use Prague Powder: To cure meat or fish safely within food safety guidelines, it's important to use the proper amount of Prague Powder. We recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh both your meat and your curing salt for the most accurate ratio.

Use 1 ounce (equivalent to 6 teaspoons, or 2 tablespoons) of Prague Powder for 25 pounds of meat, or 1 level teaspoon of cure for 5 pounds of meat. Mix curing salt with cold water to dissolve, or add it to your marinade or brine and mix well.

Storage: For maximum shelf life, store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigerating or freezing curing salt.

Ingredients

*You will need a dehydrator for this recipe

Directions

Step one: Slice meat into ¼ inch thick slices, making sure to remove as much fat as possible. Place meat into a ziplock bag or a large bowl and set aside.

Step two: Mix Prague Powder No. 1, soy sauce, dry sherry, brown sugar,  salt, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl. Mix until the sugar dissolves and pour into wherever you’ve chosen to put your meat (either in a bag or a bowl). Make sure that all of the meat is coated and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 12 hours.

Step three: Place marinated meat onto your dehydrator trays and dehydrate for 4-6 hours at 160 degrees F, or until the meat has dried.

Step four: Remove meat from the dehydrator and allow it to cool prior to storing.
