Jamaican jerky marinade

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
2poundsLean beef
6Cloves garlic; minced
3Habaneros; minced (I left the seeds in) (up to 4)
2teaspoonsGround allspice
2teaspoonsDried thyme
1teaspoonDried oregano
1teaspoonNutmeg
1teaspoonGround cinnamon
½teaspoonGround cayenne
3teaspoonsSalt
1teaspoonFresh ground black pepper
12\" piece of fresh ginger; grated
1Lime; juiced
6tablespoonsCrushed pineapple & juice
2tablespoonsBasalmic vinegar
1tablespoonSoy sauce

Directions

Cut the beef into very thin strips (partially frozen helps a lot), and marinade overnight. Pat dry and dehydrate! This is not OUTRAGEOUSLY hot, but certainly enough to make it completely avoided by my non-CH friends (pathetic masses....), and really big hit on a white-water rafting trip with a boat-load of thrill-seekers. I really liked the pineapple, but you could probably use just about any acidic fruit juice.
