The Best Spicy Beef Jerky Recipe
Thisbeef jerky recipe is a great one that has an amazing sweet flavor followed by a spicy zing at the end. Rave reviews were received when I passed this jerky around at home and work. Everyone loved it!
The brown sugar and honey give this spicy beef jerky a nice sweet flavor when you first start to chew. After a couple of seconds the salty soy sauce flavor will come out making it very savory. Finally, when you are finishing up your piece the heat from the red pepper flakes and black pepper will have you reaching for some water.
This jerky was very popular at home as well as at work. Everyone that tried it LOVED it. It's easy to see why with the ingredients and flavors that are packed into this meaty snack. Definitely put this recipe on the top of your 'to try' list!

Using lean cuts of meat for jerky is the #1 rule to remember when making beef jerky. Fat spoils faster than meat, so the less fat you have the longer shelf life the finished jerky will have.
Being short on time, I purchased already thinly sliced Beef Top Round. This helped since I didn't have to break out my jerky slicer and slice the meat myself. A lot of times butchers will slice meat for you if you ask. ⅛ to ¼ is the best thickness when slicing the meat.
This spicy beef jerky recipe has a lot of ingredients, but they are all needed to create the amazing flavor this beef jerky has to offer. Simply add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly, using a blender can be used to really help get the honey mixed in well.
How To Make Smoked Spicy Beef Jerky
Pour the sweet and spicy jerky marinade over the previously sliced meat in the plastic bag and mix around making sure the marinade is evenly distributed throughout the bag. Marinate in the fridge for 6-24 hours mixing up the bag several more times while marinating.
After marinating, strain the meat in a colander to remove any excess marinade. Patting dry with paper towels will also remove extra marinade and speed up the drying process.
Removing this extra marinade on the surface will also prevent the jerky from having a sticky feel when finished drying. Don't worry, most of the red pepper will remain and you will still have a nice spicy beef jerky.

Decide how you want to dry your jerky, whether it be in a dehydrator, smoker, or oven. A Excalibur Dehydrator was used when making this jerky.
If using a dehydrator, place the strips on the trays making sure no pieces of meat are touching and leaving a little space in between to allow air to flow around freely.
Dry on the high setting (165°F) for about 4 hours for a perfect finish. Start checking 3 hours into drying to see if it's finished.

This spicy beef jerky will be finished when it bends and breaks, but doesn't break in half. White fibers will also be seen when ripping the piece of jerky apart. These are all signs that the jerky is finished.
It depends on whether you used curing salt or not. Visit my storing beef jerky page for everything you need to know about storing jerky.
Any hot pepper can be substituted. I like habaneros because they give a great spice, don't overpower flavor wise (like jalapenos), and can be found at local supermarkets year round.

This is THE BEST beef jerky you will ever try, it is super addictive! It’s the perfect balance of sweet & spicy, and you can customize the flavor by using whatever peppers you prefer.
I’m not kidding when I say this is the best jerky recipe. I’ve sold and shipped hundreds of bags of this jerky to friends and family over the last couple of years, and I seriously considered starting my own jerky business.
The Best Sweet & Spicy Beef Jerky
Unfortunately, there are TONS of regulations on selling beef, so I gave up on the idea. But I really feel like people need to try this jerky, so I am giving away my recipe. No secret ingredients withheld. As long as you have a dehydrator and some patience, you’re about to bless your home with the most addictive jerky.
On a scale from 1-10, I would rate this at an 8 for the average person in regards to spice level. The heat is from the habanero peppers and crushed red pepper. To make it less spicy, just reduce the amount or you can use jalapeno peppers instead. I have some friends that actually request it to be even spicier, so I’ll add some cayenne pepper into the crushed red chili that goes on the jerky right before dehydrating.
As with most things, this answer depends on preference. I have tried making jerky with at least 5 different cuts of beef, and my favorite has been eye of round, but I use top round the most.

Leaner meat is always better for making jerky. This is because too much marbling (fat) will cause the jerky to spoil faster. But if you’re planning to finish your jerky within a few days, a little more marbling is ok with this recipe!
Fat tends to stay tough during the dehydration process, and that’s another reason for avoiding it. However, citric juices can help to break down the fat enzymes and make them more tender and palatable. My marinade has orange and grapefruit juice, and I have tried it on a cut that had more fat in it than usual. It still turned out so good! Just remember that it still doesn’t rectify the issue of freshness. You must finish the jerky within a few days or it will spoil.
Dehydrator– I use my Elechomes dehydrator when I am making more than 10 lbs at a time. It is on the pricier side of dehydrators, but it can fit A LOT of product and is completely adjustable. With this one, it usually takes about 8 hours to make this jerky.

If I am making 10 lbs or less, I like to use my Presto dehydrator. I recommend this one over the Elechomes dehydrator. It works a lot faster (only 4 1/2 hours) but it cannot hold a lot of product and it is not temperature adjustable. You can buy extra trays to fit more product, which I highly recommend. It is also less than 1/3 the price of the Elechomes dehydrator.
A meat slicer to make jerky, but this is one of my favorite kitchen tools! It looks pretty impressive to have one of these, and if you’re a family that loves to make shabu or Korean bbq at home, it can save you money on sliced meats. The one I use is the OSTBA meat slicer. It is compact, easy to use/take apart/clean, and very affordable.

When the jerky is ready, it should stay straight up when you hold it horizontally (parallel to the floor). If it is still slightly flopping over (assuming it isn’t an extremely long piece), it probably needs more time.

Another good way to tell if you jerky is ready is to rip it with the grain- if you see this white stringy stuff in the center, it is ready. I remember researching this and that there was a name for that white stringy stuff but I forgot what its called and can’t find it anymore.
The trays at the bottom closest to the heat source will dehydrate faster, so you’ll need to rotate trays once or twice.
Some of your beef slices may be thicker than others- try to group slices of the same thickness on each tray and then stack them from the thickest cuts on the bottom to the thinnest on top. This way you may not even need to rotate the trays.
