lol the packaged jerky looks mad good. and when you talk about mass production like your selling dime bags. Hope to see you on the corner with your trench coat full of jerky.

jerky is amazing i've had buffalo alligator venison and of course beef. my uncle makes venison regularily and its just uncomperable. i have to try it out.

out of all those the venison is the best?

man now i have to go buy some beef jerky

How thin is thin?

hard to say
each oven/meat/way its cut/way its seasoned cooks different
pretty much trial and error lol
maybe 3/16"
1/4"+ is thick,1/8" dries fast but its hard to cut it that thin
so im guessing around 3/16"

How many pounds of steak make how many ounces of beef jerky? Just curious. Thanks.

 

[midnight]

no clue on that one
i get nice 1" thick steaks and cut thin so i get alot of strips
what sux is you have to cut all the fat off so you lose alot

Just found this thread ... excellent

Downside is you now made me hungry for some

Oh if you want them hot, try to find Asian green chilli's, slice them in half and rub them over the meat; leave the 'seeds' on there too.

Don't touch your eyes or face after using them and wash your hands immediately afterwards; or use some latex gloves.

I made beef jerky a few times this summer... definitely can get creative with the recipe; I made tons of different recipes using whisky, beer, salad dressing, garlic, onions, curry powder, half a dozen hot sauces, honey, soy sauce, etc.

So easy, and fun to make lots of little batches with different flavours.

i have heard another way to dry it DIY is you take like 3 airfilters(like the ones you use for a furnace) and lay out the steak strips in the grooves. then add a filter on top and repeat then add the top filter then bungee cord the stack to a box fan and turn it on medium. i havent tried this way yet but i might here after seeing this thread has gotten me eager to try it out.
