Beef Jerky

[Haironyourchest]

Just a random thing - who loves Beef Jerky? Its not a big thing in the UK, I know, nor in Eire. There's a guy near me who's business is making protein rich snacks for the gym crowd - he has a small industrial kitchen in his home, I believe - and by golly he makes the best jerky I have ever eaten.

Not that Im a connoisseur by any means, my jerky experience being limited to occational biltong shlepped from SA by family and a one-time deal in the local shop of small expensive packets of "real American teriaki beef jerky" which was ok but too salty.

But this stuff, which is €6 for a 60 grams, comes in an anonymous ziplock baggie, is fairly rugged and chunky, slightly peppered, with just a hint of sweetness and salt. Absolutely smashing stuff.

I buy a ten bag deal at a time, for a small discount. Take a bag to work and thats lunch. Literally, I'll chew a whole 60 gram bag, thats like an amount that would fill your cupped hands, and it'll keep me going. Like the equivalent of eating a steak, I would say. No saltpetre used in the prep, no artificial anything.

Would like to have a crack at making it myself, may even invest in a dehydrator. Interested to hear your thoughts.....

I love it. Can't buy too much as I'd happily sit and eat 30 quids worth.

I developed a taste for it in a yank base in the gulf. I can get it from sainsburys at the end of the crisp isle, but a the amount I eat I soon run out of money lol

Is it like "special stuff?"

I've tried that and it's rank as soon as you get hold of proper stuff. This shop is just up the road from me. They mail order as well. Good stuff

I've made venison jerky before which was really good although I saw it off in about 3 days!! Was in the US a couple of weeks back and they sell it in almost every shop you go in.

I did mine in a dehydrator, it took about 6 hours.
