    Posted: 20 May 2022 at 09:52
Pork loin was on sale at the local supermarket the other day so I picked up a couple chunks, around 5 lbs worth. First I trimmed off all fat, sinew and silverskin I could get to, then I sliced it about 1/4" thick.

I had found a recipe for the jerky that I wanted to try, here is the original version:
  • Soy sauce .5 cup
  • Wasabi mustard 5 Tbsp
  • Water .5 cup
  • 6.25g Cure #1
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2.5 tablespoons Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 5 NuMex Twilight peppers fine dice

I had to make a couple changes to it. First, there are no Numex Twilight peppers here, so I used 3 serrano peppers, sliced. Then instead of sesame seeds in the marinade I used a bit of sesame oil. I also added a couple spoonfuls of chopped garlic and a good squeeze of ground ginger from one of those tubes, some hoisin sauce for good measure, and a bit of crushed red peppers.

The meat plus the marinade went into a zip top bag in the fridge for just about 48 hours, getting a massage every time I was in the kitchen. Then the meat (I picked off any serrano peppers) went into the dehydrator for I'd say about 8 or 9 hours, until fully dehydrated. I sprinkled sesame seeds on about half of the jerky as it went into the dehydrator.

This stuff is good... heavy on the wasabi which kind of drowns out the other flavors a bit, I might reduce that next time, but otherwise great flavor with a good punch of heat that lingers in your mouth. Definitely something I will do again.

Pitrow,

Looks amazingly extraordinary.

A simple recipe and easy to sub the chili peppers for local Basque chilie peppers.  

Thanks ..  I am going to give this a try next week.  

Have already done the market trip early this morning for the weekend.

Have a great weekend.

I hope you like it Margi. I will say that after this sits a couple days the wasabi flavor mellows out a bunch and you can get more of the sesame seed and soy flavors.

Have a great weekend too.
