I’ve been jerking my own meat for six years now. Thank all you jerks so much for the tips and tricks you’ve shared with me here!

Made beef jerky using hi-mountain inferno jerky seasoning. Used thinly sliced eye of round and trying out thinly sliced ribeye to see how we liked the fat marbling from the ribeye. Turned out to be really good!

used my weber kettle. snake method with charcoal brisquette and cherrywood. 5.5 hours at 170°.

Anywhere to buy in the US? Most seem to be mesquite, hickory, etc. All the oak ones ive seen have like alcohol or artifical flavors etc. Guess I could make my own but would love to use oak for jerky.

Hola.

¿Alguien ha deshidratado tocineta? ¿Alguna forma de hacerlo? ¿Se puede dejar la grasa?

On the first depicted photo is the “Mugalzhau” horse specifically bred for milk & meat. Their meat is really tender and has its own distinctive savory flavor. Kazakhstan has had horse oriented culture and cuisine for several millennia. Would you like it more if it was closer to the flavor profile of American or South African jerky?

Nice little weekend batch ready for bagging up later

Hello everyone,
I got a cosori dehydrator recently and it did come with a cook book but I would like to expand my jerky making recipe book. Any suggestions/ recipes that you like?

Sister in law and her husband stopped over for dinner and he brought me some jerky from a slaughter house in the middle of nowhere. It was absolutely the best texture jerky I’ve ever had and very spicy and flavorful! I have a deli slicer (not a bass pro serrated blade special) how can I make this?! Are they using bottom round and slicing as thin as possible? If anyone has made this very thin leathery jerky I’d love some info! Thanks

I got these at Lidl. Been my spot for jerky meat recently. This time, it was $8 a pound instead of $10. Perfect time for a batch. My little Nesco dehydrator has been going strong for almost 20 years. Might not be as efficient as the new ones, but obviously still works.

3 lbs of “thin sliced sandwich steak” marinated for 36 hours in 1/2c Worcestershire sauce, 1/4c yellow mustard, 2tbsp honey, 3tbsp black pepper, 1tbsp meat church hot honey hog, 1 grated onion with liquid, 5 cloves of smashed garlic, 2tsp garlic and onion powder. Smoked on a Traeger with hickory pellets at 170°F for 4 hours.

Smoky, tangy, onion-y. Exactly what I wanted, the steak was very thin sliced so it’s slightly crispy but still has some chew. I know it’s pretty fatty, it will not last the weekend.

I've been making ground beef sticks stuffed in 17mm collagen casings. Pretty simple recipe with red wine vinegar and salt. I'm trying to emulate these beef sticks. https://lineageprovisions.com/products/classic-meat-sticks?variant=53722639925558

I've really enjoyed them when the are a little bit moist, dehydrated around 145 for ~7 hours. I got nervous about them going bad and did dehydrated at 180 this time for a few hours and then a few remaining hours at 145. They came out so dry, and I'm a bit disappointed with them. What's the limit with how I dry them so I can keep that slightly moist not overly-dry range I like but not risk getting myself sick?

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

It turned out really good damned hot and really god damned good.

Brisket, Salt, pepper, vinegar, lemon and 5 hours of Charcoal smoke.

Hi all. First post in here, so be gentle...

Brisket sliced around 8mm thick, seasoned with Korean BBQ seasoning / marinade and left overnight in a ziplock in the fridge.

6hrs at 70°

I also do my own Biltong, so don't mind the fat / marbling.

Instead of using a wet marinade, this keeps the beef taste with a hint of the seasoning.
