making no carb beef jerky
I have the bug. I am dieing for jerky!!!!!!!
Every brand I can find has sugar in it even though it says low carb. So as I have made tons of jerky and homemade sausages I am going to do it low carb. I came up with this combo first and it is in the dehydrator as I type this 3lbs lean round steak (all fat and silver skin removed) Marinade: 4tbls reduced sodium salt (atkins gives me cramps this salt has potas) 1tsp onion powder 1tsp garlic 1tsp chili powder 1tsp pepper 1tsp cayanne 3 dashes liquid smoke 1/2 cup water mix the spices and the smoke and water let sit Slice the beef in 1/4 inch thick slices. Pour marinade over the meat and mix it up. Make sure it is all covered evenly. Let marinate at least 1 hour Place meat in dehydrator. As you stack the trays sprinkle pepper on the meat. Set to 155 degrees and dont check for 4 hours. It can take up to ten hours. I sure hope this works. Its nitrate free!!!! Sugar Free. I have come up with at least 4 more low carb jerky recipes. 1 of them uses splenda. Does anyone know the carb count in mortons tender quick? |
OK!!!!! Its out of the a low carb snack dehydrator. Its so good. Even my jerky junky kids think dads "diet" jerky is better than they buy in the store!!!!! Finally a low carb snack that they like too. They came home from school and asked for jerky and not candy!!!

so, what're your other recipes?
The one listed sounds good, but I have a ton of soy sauce and no smoke! |
I use the following:
¼ cup soy sauce 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce ¼ tsp cayenne pepper ¼ tsp garlic powder 1 tsp seasoned salt (Lowry's, Tony Chachere's, etc). t tsp liquid smoke I think you could probably omit the liquid smoke and it would still be fine, although it gives it a nice hickory taste. Also, if you don't have a dehydrator, note that the oven works just fine too. Put it on the very lowest temperature (175-200), lay the jerky out on a rack set over a pan to catch the drips, and bake it for 3-4 hours until it's fully dried. You really will be amazed just how much better homemade jerky is than store-bought -- the quality of the meat makes a HUGE difference! I just wish beef prices would go down... |
I love beef jerky! :yum:
I have a very simple recipe. I just soak the beef in soya sauce & garlic powder. It turns out really good. Usually 1/2 gets eaten by DH & DD before it's actually dry. :lol: |
Reduced Sodium Salt???
I'd be reluctant to use a substitute for salt as salt is the principle ingredients that is the preservative and the bacteria killer. That is unless the jerkey doesn't last more than a few days and is stored in the fridg. But still, the salt kills the bacteria... That said, I think I will have to make some jerky as you guys have given me a hankering for some jerky. And yes, all the store bought stuff I looked at had too much sugar/carbs. My two cents |
