Product Information

The manufacture of charqui principally consists of salting and sun-drying. In some regions, such as in Puno, the meat is sliced before drying; in others, like Cusco, the meat is dried from whole bone-in carcass pieces, known as 'charqui completo'. [12] The first thing you can do is choose the right direction to slice your beef, which we covered above. Against the grain = more tender.

Meat tenderizing powders are made from enzymes. They are most commonly derived either from papain, which comes from papayas, or from bromelain, which comes from pineapples. These can be sprinkled onto the beef and will start working to break down the fibers as soon as it gets placed into the dehydrator (activated by heat).F is the temperature where nearly all food-borne bacteria are killed off. But since dehydration takes time and the beef doesn’t immediately rise to that temperature once you turn on the dehydrator, there is a chance (very small) that the beef could become contaminated during that time.

If you’re not planning to eat your beef jerky right away, you can freeze it. Just make sure to put it in an airtight container first. Freezing properly will extend its shelf life by six to 12 months.

Other common inclusions are things like salt, pepper, soy sauce, and sugar for marinades and flavor. Loren Poncia, the owner of Stemple Creek Ranch outside of San Francisco, California, suggests, though, that a jerky with simple ingredients and no preservatives or "junk" is the way to get the most delicious options. https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/wcm/connect/67432999-95e4-4360-a9c9-ddd63276631a/Seminar_Jerky_Guidelines.pdf?MOD=AJPERES [ bare URL PDF] Not to be confused with Jerk (cooking).
