When I was a young lad, I knew an elderly Mexican man who kind of took me under his wing. He was a great guy and an avid deer hunter. One year he gave me a couple of roasts and a recipe for boiled jerky that he always made.
As I recall it goes like this. Cut the meat in thin strips as you would for most jerky
Bring a pot of water to boil with lot's of Kosher salt, More or less to taste. Reduce heat to simmer
Dip the strips of meat in the water for 20 or so seconds, it will kind of blanch or turn grey-ish
Remove the meat, sprinkle pepper and chili powder liberally on both sides.
Sting the meat on a wire, or string and hang in an airy place where the flies won't bother it. Luke would hang his in the screened in porch.
In a few days it was ready to eat, and very tatsty.
I thought about this while planning my Muzzleloader hunting trip this week. I'm hoping I score, so that I can make some boiled jerky in honor of Lukes memory.
