Paleo Beef Jerkey

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beef Jerkey recipe courtesy of the Paleo Diet book :

2 lbs (I used 1 kg) Beef cut into 1 inch X (1/8) inch
equal amounts of spices (I used, cayenne pepper, tumeric, cumin powder and black pepper)

Mix the lean beef strips with the spices and let it marinade over night (or at least 1-2 hours)
Place the beef strips on a baking tray lined with baking parchment
Preheat the oven to a temperature of 140-150 degC
Place the baking tray in the center shelf and leave the oven door ajar (slightly open)
It will take between 4-12 hours depending on how you like your jerkey.

My first attempt was at 150 degC @ 10 hours = too dry and crunchy
2nd attempt at 142/143-ish degC @ 6 hourse = the thicker pieces were not the texture I wanted yet but most of them turned out perfect =)
