1/2 cup lo salt soy sauce
1 1/4 tsp onion powder
1/3 cup worcestershire sauce
1 1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 1/3 tsp pepper
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 lb lean beef
1 liquid mesquite smoke *
Directions
* use in place of smoker.
Mix all ingredients except beef to make marinade. Cut thinly sliced
beef into 1/2 inch strips and marinate for 8 to 12 hours. Smoke using
mesquite chips for about three hours and then finish drying in oven.
If doing whole operation in oven use liquid smoke and hang strips of
beef on highest rack and put shallow pan underneath to catch
drippings. Turn oven on and set to lowest possible setting and leave
for 6 to 8 hours until thoroughly dried. A couple of hints that I
picked up from one of the cooking echos. Use toothpicks or wooden
skewers to hang meat by, and put a couple of layers of paper towels
in the pan to collect the drippings and save cleaning problems later
on.

The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Later, there were two books which were published in the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they have no connection with the indian curry that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals enjoyed by the rich people of the time. For the decades that followed, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books were starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
