Marine Corps S.O.S. and Jarhead Jerky Recipes

S.O.S.

Submitted by: Bob Rader

You will need:

1 pound of ground beef
1 T of Worcestershire sauce
2 beef bouilion cubes (dissolved in 1 C of water)
1 1/2 C of flour
2-3 C milk
l C chopped onion
garlic
black pepper


Brown the ground beef and chopped onion; then drain well AWAY from the heat. Gradually add flour until the beef pieces resemble peas. Add the bouilion mixture and mix slowly and stir as you do so. Return mixture to medium heat. Add the Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the misture thickens and it boils. Add black pepper and garlic to taste. When you remove from heat, it will thicken some more. Serve over toast.

Semi - freeze and slice flank steak or lean beef
(this works great with deer meat too!) into 1/8*slices.
Marinate for 36 hrs.
This marinate is good for 1lbs. of meat.
So do the math 1lbs. meat X marinate.
Dry in a gas oven at 125 degrees with the door cracked open, 8 to 10 hrs.
Drying times varies. Depending on method of drying.
Just before drying season meat with salt and course ground pepper to taste.

Here is the marinate:
1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 teaspoon Accent
1/3 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/3 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 cup Worchestershire sauce
1/4 cup Soy sauce
1/4 cup Heinz 57 steak sauce

The longer you marinate the spicier it gets. Enjoy!

Man, we get chipped beef...you know, that TP thin "meat" that's a color which is not found in nature? Actually, my husband requests it for his birthday dinner every year! You guys are really gourmet cooks with the soup business. The Army way: melt 2 TBSP butter, stir in 2 TBSP flour to make a paste, add about 1 cup of milk, a little at a time, and cook over a low flame until thick. Add salt, pepper and chipped beef. Serve over toast or mashed potatoes. Plain, simple and sticks to your ribs. Also makes a fine totally un-removable adhesive!


To make real SOS, pour six gallons of sludge from the slopchute into four gallons of leftover potato water. Hide the stale bread under it and call it breakfast. Remember the infamous horsecock sandwich anyone?
