This recipe is definitely a favorite. It really catches that spicy Cajun flavor with that tasty beef jerky taste. Also, just a tip, when making this recipe, if you want to calm the spicy flavor down, sprinkle some mild cheddar cheese on your beef jerky, and it definitely gives it a calmer kick, while still tasting great!

Ingredients

1 Pound of Beef Flank Steak

2 Tsp of Garlic Salt

2 Tsp of Salt

3/4 Tsp of Ground Black Pepper

1 Package of Mild Cheddar Cheese (Optional)

Directions

Freeze your steak over night and then when you start preparing this, you will be able to easily slice the visible fat off of the steak. Then, after trimming the fat off, cut the steak into strips. It’s up to you how big you want to make your strips. Next, in a separate bowl, mix your pepper, garlic, and salt together. Then evenly distribute this mixture on top of your steak. Being generous with room between strips, arrange your strips of steak on a wire rack in a baking pan. Bake this at 175F for 9 hours, until it looks crisp. You should be able to tell when it’s done, and you can cook it a little longer or shorter depending on whether you want it to be a little less cooked, or more burnt. After take your steaks out of the oven, and dash some more ground black pepper on them, depending on how spicy you want it. To calm the spice down a little, as well as give your beef jerky and extra kick, we recommend melting some cheese on it. After that, your ready to eat your tasty Cajun beef jerky.

    This sounds nice, although Jerky isn’t so popular here in the UK this is really something to try.
