Appetizing Spicy Beef Jerky Perfect for Get-togethers

Over the weekend, I made some Spicy Beef Jerky. I was invited over to a friend’s house so I decided that I would bring some so we can snack on something while chattin’ and chillin’ — good idea, right? I like making this Spicy Beef Jerky ahead and just store it in a jar so that whenever I crave for something spicy and salty, I just reach for it. Mind you, this doesn’t last for more than a week! Sometimes it lasts for 2 days only HAHA!

Anyway, let me just tell you a quick story about this spicy beef jerky recipe. The first time I made this I was thinking of making other variants such as chicken, pork, or lamb. I tried it with chicken and it wasn’t as enjoyable. The difference is that beef is more flavorful and filling. However, if you are following a strict diet, then you can tweak the recipe to the meat of your choice. You’d have to adjust the cooking time, too. Beef is best for jerky though — that I must tell you!

What’s So Special About Spicy Beef Jerky

I was so busy cleaning up while cooling the spicy beef jerky that I did not notice my teenage son come in. When I turned around, he was sitting by the counter munching on his Nth beef jerky with a wide grin on his face! See? I told you it wouldn’t last long! I quickly brushed him off and told him to wait for the next batch coz I will be bringing them to a friend’s house for potluck. His eyes suddenly lit up and offered to come with me so he can bond with my friend’s son, too. Yeah right — I know where this was going LOL!

Anyway, what I love most about this spicy beef jerky is that you can just munch on it and not get tired of the taste. Sometimes I even dip it in ranch dressing or spicy vinegar. My friends can attest to the fact that this spicy beef jerky is one of the best appetizers!
