Beef or Moose Jerky

Drescription

Dried beef or moose jerky seasoned and preserved for a chewy, flavorful, protein-packed snack.

Ingredients

3 pounds rump roast 3 cups soy sauce
3 cups packed brown sugar
4 fluid ounces hickory-flavored liquid smoke

Directions

Slice roast into slabs approximately 1/4 inch thick, (Note: you can have this done at the grocery store or butcher). Trim off all of the fat from the edges. Cut the slabs into pencil-like strips (about 1/4 inch wide), and about 4 inches long.
In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar and hickory- flavored liquid smoke; blend well. Place all of the meat into the bowl of marinade. Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Place the meat in a food dehydrator for about 12 to 20 hours, depending how dry you like your jerky. Rotate the trays after 6 hours. For example: Bottom tray on top, top tray on bottom, second tray from bottom to be second tray from top, and so on.

Vernal Greens Pasta with Seared Scallops

While grocery shopping I spied some sprightly fava greens for sale in the produce section. I had been considering adding some greenery to a pasta dish, so dropped a bunch into my basket. The nearby fennel bulbs looked particularly fresh, so into the basket one went. That got my mind thinking about pairing fennel, scallops, and lime -- one of my favorite flavor combinations -- so the idea for this pasta dish came together quickly. The dish requires a little multi-tasking, but comes together fairly quickly. The bright and fresh tasting pasta and sweet scallops pair perfectly with the melon, fresh grass, and citrus flavors of the 2011 Uproot Savignon Blanc.
