It's been a long time since I've made jerky by the book.
Found some short dated, thin sliced, sirloins for a small batch, about 1.5 lbs. total.
Frozen, then sliced thin so it would get done on the WSM without dragging my dehydrator up from the basement.
Marinated exactly as the recipe was written for about 2 hours.
One row snake with pecan wood. Thanks Jim Lampe for the wood!
It took about 7 hours start to finish. A couple of done early samples told me it was getting too smoky, so I removed the last two wood pieces.
Pretty good stuff, but a bit too smoky and salty. With so much sodium in the soy sauce the additional 2 tps. of salt could be eliminated.
About the egg bites. I've never stepped foot inside a Starbucks, but saw mention of how to make their egg bites in an Instant Pot. A search shows that about every food blogger has posted their recipe and method.
I ad libbed and wire whipped 3 jumbo eggs and a TBS of sour cream in a large glass measuring cup. Three cups had some cooked crumbled sausage in the bottom, three of them had only cheddar cheese added.
As soon as I lowered them into the IP I realized I had forgotten the first step from all of the recipes, I didn't oil the cups!
After 8 minutes at low pressure, and 10 minutes natural release they were done, and came out of the cups pretty well with some damage.
Darn tasty! I'm thinking next time I'll add cooked bacon, spinach, and Feta.
Also want to try pancake bites, meatloaf bites, and cheesecake bites.
Two silicone trays, plus lids, and a trivet with handle came from Amazon on Prime Day. Normally $20, for $14.
