Ready to take your snacking game up a notch? Derek Wolf from Over the Fire Cooking has got you covered with his incredible Crispy Fried Brisket Jerky recipe. Whether you’re gearing up for game day or simply craving a savory treat, this recipe will be the star of your culinary adventures!
The Perfect Ingredients
To get started, you’ll need a whole brisket point, ideally between 4-5 lbs. But hold on—Derek has a little pro tip for you! He suggests semi-freezing the brisket to make cutting easier.
For the marinade, you’ll mix together 2 cups of soy sauce, ½ cup of Cowboy Butter Rub, and some spice with 2 tbsp of Sriracha Sauce, 2 tbsp of brown sugar, and 1 tsp of curing salt #1. The flavors meld together perfectly, and trust us, you’ll be glad you let it sit for at least 6 hours—but ideally, 12-24 hours for maximum flavor!
Cooking Up a Storm
Once your brisket is marinated, you’ll slice it into ¼” strips against the grain. This is where Derek really shines; his technique ensures that each piece comes out tender yet chewy! After letting the slices cool, it’s time to preheat your smoker to 165-185°F. While the brisket smokes for about 5-6 hours, it absorbs that delicious smoky flavor and caramelizes beautifully.
Fry It Up!
The grand finale? A quick fry in some beef tallow heated to a whopping 350°F. In just 1-2 minutes per batch, you’ll achieve that perfectly crispy finish that makes jerky truly irresistible! Garnish it with sesame seeds and chopped chives for a burst of color and flavor. Serve it up and get ready for everyone to ask for seconds!
