Ingredients
- Beef broth: 1 cup 240 ml – Adds a rich, deep flavor.
- Apple juice: 1/2 cup 120 ml – Adds a hint of sweetness.
- Melted butter: 1/4 cup 60 ml – Enhances flavor and adds richness.
- Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- Onion powder: 1 teaspoon
- Cayenne pepper or ground red chili: 1/4 teaspoon (you can increase the amount to taste)
- Ground black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- Paprika sweet pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- Chili flakes optional: 1/4 teaspoon (to taste)
Instructions
- Mixing and Measuring Ingredients Accurately: Pour 1 cup of beef broth into a suitable bowl. Add 1/2 cup of apple juice, followed by 1/4 cup of melted butter. Stir the ingredients well until fully combined. Next, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder, then 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. Finally, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to taste. To adjust the flavor, you can also add 1/4 teaspoon of chili flakes if you prefer a spicier profile.
- Straining the Mixture to Avoid Injector Clogs: Once the ingredients are well mixed, use a fine mesh strainer to filter out any large spice particles that could clog the injector. If the mixture is thick, you can use a cheesecloth to help strain it more effectively and ensure smooth injection.
- How to Adjust Flavor Intensity Based on Preference: If you prefer a milder flavor, increase the amount of beef broth or apple juice. For a bolder taste, add more spices or include Worcestershire sauce. Start with the base ingredients and gradually adjust the flavor to suit your personal taste.
