LEGENDARY Dr. Pepper Jalapeno Jerky | How To

[@corynfl20]

I use this recipe all the time. Thanks, HGH. The only thing I do different is, I dip the meat in the marinade before I put it in the bag, and then pour the marinade into the bag. Otherwise, sometimes the meat tends to stick to each other and no marinade gets in between. By dipping, it makes sure all the meat touches the marinade, and it turns out perfect! Thanks again, HGH, for another great recipe

[@ingeniousmechanic]

I do this too. Let the marinate cool, drop the meat in one at a time, stir it all up, then dump it in the bag.

[@markgraham637]

You put the raw meat soaked marinade on the smoked meat ?

[@davidbuben3262]

@@markgraham637 All this BEFORE you smoke the meat. BEFORE! As Gordon Ramsey would say, "You donut".🙂

[@PleaseForgiveYourself]

Just massage your meat in the bag... 🤣

[@squintygreeneyes]

@@b1004uthis whole comment is pointless af. put the meat in the zip, pour in the marinade, massage the bag so it gets on all sides. you made it way more complicated/time consuming/more to clean for no reason at all,.

[@OregonOutdoorAdventures]

another tip for marinating your meats if you have a vacuum sealer with bags or a vacuum sealed container use that and it really helps pull that flavor into the meat in rapid time I can usually smoke my meats same day in about 3-4 hours. with any thing that's moist on a vacuum sealer bag you can fold up a paper towel to fit across the top of the bag and seal it in to hold back the moisture and allow a full seal.

[@jsdunaway]

Where do you put the towel and how

[@TheOracle313]

How do you dry the meat, because I towel dried my meat and it was still moist after 3 hours in the smoker at 170

[@OregonOutdoorAdventures]

@@jsdunaway I use 11" bags and I use cut my own and cut them long. I fold up the paper towel until it is about .5 inches or 1.5 cm across then I place it about 3 inches inside the bag. I then put my sealer on gentle and moist. Then I setup my sealer so it sits elevated above where the bag sits on the counter or in the sink usually on top of a pot. I then do a vacuum seal and hold the bag right on the paper towel and once it seals I press the manual seal button then move the bag wipe any fluid away and seal again an inch above. I have purchased the reusable plastic liquid stoppers from Cabela's since and use those now. However the paper towel trick works.

[@OregonOutdoorAdventures]

@@TheOracle313 I towel dry then I set it on a cooling rack for cookies etc. Then I place a small fan on the counter and let it blow over it for 30ish mins to also bring it to room temperature before smoking. For all meats and fish I wait until it has a semi sticky texture.

[@TheOracle313]

@@OregonOutdoorAdventures ok, because I'm highly considering doing just a dry rub. I'm currently still smoking my meat now after 7 hours and it's not even dry yet.🙃🙄

[@chadsmith1092]

OMG! Finally got around to making a batch. probably one of the most savory things I've ever tasted. Added a couple tweaks. Made in a dehydrator, so added 1 tea spoon liquid smoke. After cooling, I tasted the brine and worried it would be to spicy. Once laid out on the rack, I sprinkled with dark brown sugar and did the cook. It turned out amazing! Thank you again for another awesome idea. 🤤❤️

[@jerryjones188]

This recipe is the best! I use the oven, 3 jalapeños, a TBSP of hot jalapeño juice, patted down with paper towels after oven, put in the bag with a crack of air, and then chill. Moist, chewable and the best flavor ever! I've been using this recipe and making it my own for 4 years! Just wonderful!!

[@scottstevens2201]

I love this recipe and usually add 4 diced jalapeños and 4 diced habaneros and that brings on some wonderful heat !

[@ArizonaGunsDave]

One thing I have tried is, hanging the pieces of meat on metal skewers. I made a rack to do that so the meat never touches the grill and the only thing that dries your meat is the actual smoke. Doing it this way, you don't need to flip it, it will never burn either but keep in mind it takes about an hour and a half longer and also gives the meat a much heavier smoke flavor so it is imperative that you use a sweet pellet for this method. I would love to see you try this in a future video. Great video, great recipe!

[@gerardvandendorpel6907]

Didnt make a photo, but this recipe is great!! i allso reheated the marinade, got rid of most of the moisture and used the peppers and onions (didn't have onion powder) in a rice dish. The spice and sweetnes made that dish a succes and as a snack everyone loved the jerky.

[@martinlowe7978]

[@rachelgee7894]

I'd like to try this with a bit of orange or maybe clove asian type or habanero lemongrass jerk variation. Dr. Pepper probably go with so many different types of foods.

Just finished making this recipe. Best beef jerky I've ever had. I wouldn't adjust the recipe, it's perfect the way it is.

[@pd417]

Marinated the meat last night and smoked it this morning. Three pounds took almost exactly three hours at 170 degrees. Texture and flavor were great except we really couldn’t taste any of the heat from the two jalapeños. Next time I’ll use your suggestion and purée them. Overall, excellent!

[@jonathonc624]

Did you wipe off the seeds like she suggested? I feel like if the seeds were left on that would probably help the heat? Making this tonight and I was considering adding some red chili flake too after reading your comment....

[@rogerhayslett6706]

I have made this recipe from Susie's website probably over a dozen times. I mostly use with pork loin instead of beef, with not much difference in flavor. I add a little brown sugar, and use cayenne in place of jalepenos, but otherwise, the recipe is all Susie's. Best jerky I've ever made. A keto friendly snack. I've lost over 30 lbs with the help of this recipe. Thanks for the ideas!

That is awesome! I love when people take the base of my recipes and make them their own.

[@jerry2664]

My kids bought me a Master built electric smoker for my birthday and I made these yesterday. After making the marinade, I had an urge to add salt because the diet Dr. Pepper made the marinade taste sweet to me, but I withheld because I wanted to try as written. Glad I didn't add anything. I marinated in fridge for 24 hours and the flavor of the marinade changed from sweet to well balanced and it smelled great. Meat thickness about 3/16th of an inch on meat slicer. I used cherry wood chips. First time using a smoker and this is the first thing I made. I used London Broil and cut all fat off that I could. I used "hot" untamed Jalapeno's in the marinade and sprinkled the meat with red pepper flakes. Over two pounds of meat devoured by family and friends in about 1 hour. I can't testify to how long they last in storage.

[@njzeigler4370]

When ever I bbq beef I always fill a spray bottle with Dr.Pepper and give the meat a spritz every time I open the cooker. Creates the best bark on bbq! Even people who hate DP love the bbq.

[@jmartin9059]

*I have used GRAPE AND APPLE JUICES for the sweetness with a bit of natural acid ... instead of soda pop.... Apple juice, Grape Juice, Bar-b-Que sauce and maybe some sauteed peppers... if you want the heat with the sweet.*

[@kappaalpha1000]

Great recipe. I doubled the recipe for a 5lb eye of round, and added the correct amount of curing salt (Prague powder #1) for the weight in place of one of the tablespoons of salt. I'd like to know the starting thickness of the meat. I told the butcher I was making jerky and to put the slicer on setting 2 as was mentioned and he said it would be deli thin. I thanked him and said to make it 1/4 in since that's my go-to but I think it's a little thick given the temp and time. My pellet grill won't go down to 165 so I set it at the lowest setting 190 - for 3 hours, even with the higher temp, I had to add another hour and a half to it.

[@josephiglesias8489]

I’ve made a lot of beef jerky before but this is my family’s favorite recipe! Thanks for the recipe Susie!

[@bradheerschop2316]

I think this is one of the best recipes online ever. I’m glad you put the video up. The only things I do different is: - I add some honey to the marinade - I double the jalapeños and don’t take out the seeds - I cut with the grain Other than that, this is the best. Keep it up.

[@bkredfern]

I use a similar recipe for jerky done on my big green egg. Key on a kamado style smoker is to use a charcoal divider in the bottom and just light a small pile of lump charcoal. You can keep it around 160 degrees with proper charcoal and airflow settings. Gives it a little smoke so I never have to use liquid smoke(not a fan). I also add a splash of dark soy sauce to my marinade. 🤤

[@LizardKing513]

Try placing the meat on cooling racks for 2 hours before putting it in the smoker. This allows a pellicle to form which absorbes the smoke better. Pro tip.

Add some liquid smoke to the marinade. That gives you a nice Smokey flavor.

[@mitchelltimmerman5835]

Just made this it taste amazing I didn't add jalapeños until I was done reducing dr pepper and put a lid on pot to let soak while it cooled

[@MrDan2454]

you can up the heat of the jalapenos without sacrificing the raw taste of it by wrapping it in paper towel and rolling it under your hand. you help push some of the capsaicin of the seeds into the flesh of the pepper. be careful how long you roll it for.

Without trying it out , it will be off the chart good like most Hey Grill Hey recipes. That marinade recipe would be good for brisket and pork butt for BBQ. It will not be as strong or infused like jerky but you will still get the flavor profile. I would still put a rub on thick pieces of meat like briskets and butts. Could even make separate batch of Dr Pepper jalapeno marinade thinned out for a mop sauce .

Just tried this yesterday for the first time. Two pounds of London Broil thinly sliced and followed recipe to the letter. It was a HUGE hit with family and friends; it's nearly gone! I've been asked to make more of it by a self-professed jerky snob and a few others. Thank you for sharing!

[@kurzhaarguy]

Nice job! I’m definitely going to try that flavor profile. A couple things that I do differently-for my own taste: after liquid marinade, I marinate in neutral oil (peanut, grape seed) for about 30 minutes. Then, slip them between gloved fingers to remove excess oil. In the smoker, the rest drips away. In the liquid marinade, I add pink salt or quick cure to 1/2-1/4 the amount for sausage cure. After it has smoked, I open dry it for a couple days. Probably wiser in a fridge but I like the open air. The former makes it less brittle. The latter preserves it for the haul. Looking forward to this flavor.

So, I made this, and to be honest we were disappointed in the flavor which was an absolute shocker to us. We did the recipe exactly as per the instructions and let it marinade for a full 24 hrs. The marinade smelled amazing and we got excited. But after smoking, all 5 of us thought it would be way more flavorful then it actually was. I am going to try this again with maybe some more seeds or something, I am not sure what to say. I definitely encourage everyone to try as this recipe as this channel has never done us wrong...but yeah, not sure what to say about the flavoring here.
