Ingredients

    2 clove Garlic
    5 tbsp chopped Shallots
    3 tsp Ginger Root
    4 large (3-1/4" dia) (approx 2 p Apples, fresh with skin
    16 tbsp Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar
    85 gram(s) Stevia / Brown Sugar mix (by WAHZOE)
    32 serving Truvia Natural Sweetener
    .75 cup Habanero peppers, raw (by GOAL_MINDED)
    2 tsp Salt
    18 tsp Lemon Juice 'Real Lemon' 100% juice
    1360 grams Beef, eye of round

Directions

Over high heat cook the garlic, shallots, ginger in hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the apples and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and bring to a boil. Then stir in the white and brown sugar and stir to dissolve.

Add the habanero peppers and salt and simmer for 30 minutes. Add the lemon juice to the mixture and transfer the habanero apple mixture to a blender. Let the sauce cool some and then puree in the blender.

Let the sauce cool completely before adding it to the beef.

For the Apple Habanero Beef Jerky
Trim all the fat, gristle, and silver skin from the beef. Slice the beef into thin strips 1/8" to 3/8" thick, against the grain. Set the strips down in a large container like a bowl, flat tray, or sealable plastic bag.
Pour the apple habanero marinade over the meat and mix well. Store the meat in the fridge for at least 4 to 8 hours, or overnight.

Preheat your dehydrator to at least 141°F / 60.5°C and up to 165°F / 74°C.

Place the strips in a single layer on the dehydrator trays. Be sure to leave some space between the jerky strips for sufficient air flow. If you are not using wire or mesh trays you may need to turn the beef jerky over once in the middle of the drying process.

Dry the beef jerky for 6 to 10 hours. If thicker strips of meat are used it may take longer.
To test the beef jerky remove a strip or two from the oven racks or dehydrator trays with clean kitchen tongs. Dried beef jerky strips should be chewy but still tender. When bent, it should be flexible enough not to break but it should crack instead.

Once the apple habanero beef jerky is sufficiently dry, remove it from the dehydrator and let it cool for 30 to 60 minutes. If there is any oil or moisture on the beef jerky use paper towels to blot it dry.

Put the jerky in tightly sealed containers then refrigerate or freeze. The apple habanero beef jerky will last in the refrigerator for a month or two and in the freezer for several months
