The kind've insane and totally awesome one I've been doing is well, I guess you'd call it "chilli" jerky.
I make a mixture of bbq sauce with some pineapple juice. Then I add a touch of tomato sauce (ketchup more or less), salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, finely chopped/pulped pineapple, chilli powder, hot chilli sauce, some REALLY hot naga jolokia chilli paste, crushed corriander (cilantro) seeds and some chilli flakes for texture.
What you end up with, is quite a damn spicy bbq-flavoured product that's balanced out very nicely with the sweet stickiness of the small amount of pineapple still there...then the crunch and texture, and ever so slight citrus vibe that the corriander seeds provide.
Wow, this here is the awesomeness and if you guys can try this one it's definitely worth a shot to the spice lovers.
never had jerky but that sounds delicious. Is it tough to chew or more on the tender side?
