    1 tsp. white pepper
    2-4 Tbsp Gochujang pepper paste to taste or fresh chilies or gochugaru or chilie flakes or some kind of chili paste
    NOTE: dryer chili paste or powder will allow jerky to dry quicker and wetter chili will make the jerky take longer to dry.
    ½ c soy sauce
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1-2 tb sesame oil
    1 tb sesame seeds
    2 tb brown sugar
    1-2 tsp grated ginger 1 tsp. per pound should do

Instructions

Place your ground beef into large bowl.
Add black pepper, gochujang, soy sauce, onion powder, sesame oil, sesame seeds, sugar, ginger, scallion, garlic and soju.
Mix all ingredients together very well and let marinate 4 hours or overnight. I am an overnight guy.
Now pack the ground meat mixture into your jerky gun if you have one.
Start shooting your beef mixture onto your dehydrator trays.
Once done set dehydrator at 160 or 165 degrees if you have it for about 4 to 6  hours depending on the consistency you like in your jerky.
When done allow to cool for awhile and then eat it and bag the rest for later!
If you don't your can roll the meat thin in between to pieces of parchment paper or on a plastic cutting board
roll this as you like and cut into one inch wide by 4-5 inches long.

Knife Review: The SOG Utilikey Key Knife Review: Your Key To Success!



SOG KEY KNIFE SPECS:

Overall Length     4.00"
Closed Length     2.50"
Product Weight     0.70 oz
Blade Length     1.5"

Product Type: Folding Knife
Body Type: Steel, 5 pin construction
Locking Mechanism: Lockback    
Packaging: Blister Pack
Finish: Satin, Black, Blue, Brass, Pink    
Edge Type: Straight 420j2 stainless steel contains medium quality carbon content. It has good corrosion resistance in salt free atmospheres and in most industrial environments. It is resistant to many chemicals and household cleaners; and, it is also a more durable steel compared to the 440 grades. This steel is used in making precision surgical instruments because of its sharpness as well as it’s corrosion resistance. Surgical steel needs to be treated in a very harsh environment to sanitize it. (The best folding knife for under $50 endorsed by an Airborne soldier). Currently it is used to make the frames of many knives on the market such as Benchmade. The 420j2 steel is also used for making knifes, daggers, and other instruments used in battle. This steel is often made into haircutting scissors and household scissors. The 420j2 steel is great for producing a fine and smooth polished blade.
Blade Steel Type: 420J2:
Country of Origin: Taiwan

Original Key Knife Run was: 8Cro13MoV Steel from China Very close to AUS8 steel in comp. and was RC'd at 56-59   
Blade Shape: Drop Point
Hardness Rc. 52-54    
Handle Material: Stainless Steel

Now just to let you know that there have been some reviews on YT trying to spec this little knife as an outdoor EDC or urban EDC. It is not a survival knife in the purest sense and is not built for out in the field so many of those reviewers need to wake up! This is a novelty knife that works well on a keychain and is very well built and it comes in handy for the quick small things that one would need to do if they did not have a knife on them at the time. This keychain novelty knife is VERY WELL BUILT and for the money will be on your keychain for years to come and will and does make a great conversation piece especially to those people who are not into nor carry a knife at all!

What Does Spenser Frazer Have To Say About The Key Knife: We have a saying that the best knife is the one that you have with you! Always be prepared with the new Key knife. This is the first lockback of its kind. Open up your awareness. We love the fact that sometimes we wish we had a knife to clean our fingers, cut a rope, open a box, sever a thread. Now we do... always. Our new key knife just might save the day, unless of course you lock it in the trunk.

Recipe:
    A good quality steak. I used a 2+Lb prime rib steak.   
    1/3 Cup water
    4 Cloves garlic, peeled
    2 Stalk green onion, chopped
    A big handful fresh sweet basil leaves sliced
    4 Tablespoons soy sauce
    1-2 Tablespoon oyster sauce
    1-2 Tablespoon sesame oil
    4 Tablespoon palm sugar , or light brown sugar
    1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
    ¼ to 1 Tbsp. black pepper to taste
    4 Fresh hot chili peppers chopped or chili flake to taste(optional)

Directions :
Put meat in gallon sized zip lock bag and set aside.
Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl and let sit for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors marry or you can put the marinade ingredients in a blender and blend on high and then let the flavors marry before use.
Pour the marinade mixture over the meat in the bag and marinate for 4 to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Cook/grill the steak at 390 degrees in airfryer or grill on the BBQ until medium rare or to your liking and serve with sliced cucumbers and white rice. Enjoy!

While steak is cooking in the air fryer pour marinade into a pot/pan and bring to boil and then to simmer on medium for 2-5mins. When steak is done plate with rice and spoon some sauce over the steak and/or rice as well.

Equipment Review: My Tfal Expert Pro Stainless Steel Skillet


 This week I am doing a product review of my T-Fal Expert Pro Stainless Steel 12 inch skillet. This is the BEST skillet I have ever owned as far as browning and searing meat and you will see in this video. I own more expensive skillets like my All Clad 12 inch French skillet which I will also be reviewing in the future.  This skillet is an excellent stainless steel grilling pan and excellent for meat fish and veggies alike with it's "Techno Release" system. This week I am also going to be making a Greek Steak in this skillet and the recipe can be found below. Enjoy!

Richard Blaine's EZ Cooking My Gowise 10.5 Quart Turbo Airfryer Review



This week I am doing a short product review of my newest best friend in the kitchen my Gowise USA 10.5 Quart Turbo Air fryer. I am new to air fryer cooking and I think it is the coolest thing since apple pie. I have fried foods with a tenth of the oil I would have usually used for deep frying or even shallow frying with this appliance. I have made BBQ dishes that have amazed my friends and the people that I work with and they can't believe the flavor that you get when you are air frying versus deep frying. I love this machine!
