Does anyone else make there own beef jerky?
I used to always buy it up until a few years ago when I got a dehydrator.
Just curious and have seen some post ? lately that I thought were much more worthless.
Anyways I have found a new brand of pre made marinate I use as a base and just add other spices and sauces depending on my tastes for that batch. I have found that most can't handle heat!
dad makes all the jerky i can handle.......sooooooooo much cheaper than store bought crap!
between deer meat and our own cows we raise n slaughter......damn good stuff
I'm from IN that is one of the things I miss is dear season.Quote:

That stuff is shit I'll get you some links were you can order some good shit if you eat it all the time.
I'll post tomorrow.
Yeah man, I eat the shit all day. I've never tried this brand and I won't be buying it again. I did like this jack Links brand of steak cuts, But its so fucking salty ... I can't eat it without lots of beer, thats a problem at work I found out lolQuote:

I actually prefer deer sticks, we have hunters from all over the U.S. stay with us and leave there homemade stuf, i got 3 bags of dried deer sticks in my dorm that is delicious but is so salty that I have to drink beer with it and that greatly impedes progress on homework.
How do you keep it moist ours always ends up dry as hell? I mean its dry right off the dehydrator.
Are you using whole muscle pieces or is it ground?Quote:

Jalapeno carne seca is the best
whole muscle pieces sliced around 3/8" to 1/2" thick. we have a good taste perfected, just a bit dry. the salty ones were given to us.Quote:

Thanks LS2. Gonna try this shit out
No problem way better than store bought shit!
There is another guy that makes this killer hot shit we always buy from him at the gunshows.
He doesn't have a site but I'll give you his email [email protected] and his # is 1-800-575-9846 He is out of Cali.
If you got big balls try his Habanero jerky....Just don't touch it with your bare hands. It will stay with you for over a day I found out the hard way.:mad:
Holy shit! thats awesome
love me some spicy meat sticks.
If anyone wants to send me some to try let me know. :food:
make my own venison jerky. I use the burger with the shooter and stuff called backwoods seasoning I get at gander mountain. It's pretty good stuff.
Do you need a dehydrator to make it or is there other ways?
you can do it in a smoker or I've done it in the oven set on 200 degrees. A dehydrator is the way to go though. I just have a little cheap model I paid $20-$30 for I think many years ago.
I don't have a smoker either. :sulk:
you have an oven though right? :D 200 degrees for 5 hours or so I think. Been years since I've used the oven.Quote:

With beef I use Flank steak or if I'm feeling cheap London Broil.Quote:

The London broil cut I will marinate for 48-36 hours cause it is tougher than the Flank which usually get 32 or so.
Make your marinate so it taste salty to you cause it will not penetrate the whole muscle.
Had to refresh this one after making some jerky last night. I tried a few differrent marinates in smaller batches. I di one with just Red Devil hot sauce added some garlic salt and crushed red peppers and it came out awesome!!

^^^Doesn't that take like 3 days to dehydrate? I'm not patient enough for that..
This batch was small thin strips. I pluged it in @ 3am when I was about to pass out. Woke up at 8 flipped pieces over and it was done @ 930. So that batch took 6 1/2 hours. Usually won't take more than 9 hours at the most.Quote:

I love to eat beef jerky, and buy it at gas stations often. I LOVE when someone brings me some homemade deer jerky, but I don't make it myself.
me, my friend and his dad go hunting, and what we get, we get it in jerky, OMFG Deer jerky is the shizznit, and my brother makes his own he just go's to wal-mart and buy some steak and made some with some spicy Jack Daniels sauce and it was AMAZING! its so much cheaper then buying jack links, dont get me wrong jack links is good but home made with jack daniels and deer jerky is better.
I remeber back in high school a friend of mine made the best deer jerky. I love jerky but its not cheap. I am going to get a dehydrater and try to make some. Damn I am wanting some beef jerky right now! Cam anyone tell me a good marinade for jerky? I heard Dales steak seasoning was good. I love the teriyaki jack links steak nuggets-wish I could make some jerky with that flavor. I also like the peppered jerky.
I have tried all these flavors but original and they were ALL GREAT!!
For the price ($7) you can't beat the flavor. I will add some fresh sliced garlic to most and some acidity from orange,pineapple,or lemon juice also.

I tried this for their Teriyaki and was OK. Not terrible but not the best. You might like the flavor of it............ I usually do my own Teriyaki. Just remember it needs to taste really salty when you taste your marinate or the meat will turn out plan and not what you want plus it spoils faster.

This dehydrater will be my next.

It has alot of great features a friend of mine has one and I have used it twice. The temp setting is great!

Thanks man!
No problem here to help!:goodluck:
Hey-do you think one of those cheap wal mart dehydraters would be decent enough?
Yeah look at the tray count. I think that might be what I have now. Does it look similar to the one I posted but the top looks like just a lid? I think it comes with 3 trays........ I bought the sum bitch 5-6 years ago.Quote:
