Title: jerky
Post by: jtksu on November 15, 2010, 11:19:07 PM
Anybody make their own?  Any unusual meats?  How do you make it- oven, dehydrater, smoker, sun?  Marinade recipes?  Has there already been a thread about this?  I'm tired of spending eleventy billion dollars for like 8 oz of shitty jerky.  I can order some from like Pats :lick: but I would like to try to make my own.  Can't be that hard.  Clams- your sodium hatin' ass need not respond.

Never met a jerky fan who had enough teeth to stay in the game for more than 3-4 years, tops.  Seems like a young man's game.

made some deer jerky a couple of years ago in a dehydrator.   I can't for the life of me remember the recipe - all I remember is something called liquid smoke.   Was super good, but there was a couple of pieces that had a very small amount of fat on them.  within a couple of days, the fatty ones were rancid.  MUST REMOVE ALL FAT!

A carpenter foreman on a job of mine several years ago used to kill the crap out of geese.  For hunting n00bs, wild goose tastes like crap.  Asked him what he does with all of them.  Goose jerky.

Goose jerky tastes like crap just like regular the non-jerky type of goose.

My bro makes deer jerky in his oven.  He puts the roasts in the freezer until the firm up a lot but before the freeze.  Then slices them pretty thin, seasons them, and dries them in the oven at something like 225deg for a long ass time.  Don't know his seasoning mix, but it is the best jerky I have ever had by far.

An old roommate of mine in college got black-out drunk and overdrafted buying beef jerky at a gas station at like 3am.  Proceeded to try to pass out on the porch of every house we walked by on the way home.  Was pretty  :chainsaw: once he realized this the next day.

I actually referenced Pat's in my initial post.  It's in Leibenthal (sp?) just a bit south of Hays.  The little POS bar next to it is pretty cool, too.  Great jerky and their beefsticks are rough ridin' fantastic, too.  Like slim jims but way better.  A bit pricy though, would be nice to be able to make my own because I tend to eat a lot of jerky.

I usually make my own sausages and decided to venture to the world of jerky after this last deer season...I've had my own meat grinder and just bought a 'jerky pistol' from Cabela's.  It's amazing and real simple to use.  I bought the jerky seasoning from Cabela's, along with drying racks to use in my oven.  I know I'm taking the easy way out by using the pre-made seasonings, but they've turned out very well.

It was mentioned to use low fat meat...that's a must. 

I've found the peppered seasoning works well with venison; be sure to price out roasts and lean ground beef--it may be cheaper to buy and grind, if you have that option; and don't try to make turkey jerky--it's a pain in the ass.  The turkey meat sticks to everything.  I haven't tried slicing and drying meat...I've just made the strips.

In the oven, it takes about 6 hours.  I usually flip the strips about once an hour, leaving the oven door open a crack to let moisture out for half an hour after each flip.
