[UintahHiker]

Holy Cremolli- This looks delish! Thanks the great directions, the recipe and the amazing post. Mmmmmm... I'm gonna "steal" my parents dehydrator and get right on this.

Oh and wondering one more thing... Does the sauce on the meat not bother the dehydrator by dripping down in it, i thought mayeb id have to pat the meat dry with a papertowel first?

[GardenNewbie]

Nice video, im trying this as we speak :) Where u guys from? Im from NL, Canada and couldnt help notice the Kick in the "Arse" comment, lol...

[Kayleebob]

@GardenNewbie New Brunswick, actually! And nope, the sauce doesn't bother it. wipes right out with a bit of elbow grease!

[GardenNewbie]

@Kayleebob hahaha knew u were from the maritimes somewhere, lol, cool good to know, i actually have some in marinade right now.... oh and mine isnt beef, its moose ;) NL :) thnx for the info :) was a great help!

If your urin is white: Your hydrated.

You need to pat-dry the strips before you dry it. Leaving all that excess on the jerky doesn't make it tastier! The whole point of the marinade it to break the beef down and absorb into the meat - after 24 hrs, the meat can't even take any more flavour, so the extra sauce is only doubling your drying time! You're not adding flavour - you're just doubling the drying time and maybe making it more sticky. Let it marinate for 24, pat the jerky dry, and test it! Same taste, less moisture, quick dry!

@channelswimmer I'll give that a try next time. Thanks for the tip!

Oh man, Beef Jerky is the best!!! Love it

[kelloggshow]

in the summer we go thru beef jerky like MAD and it's ridiculously expensive ... i'm gonna make this exact recipe ... it looks yummy!! =0

[thebatchtube]

You dropped an EPIC "eh?".

Well played.

[Kayleebob]

@thebatchtube Hahaha, how was it epic? I say "eh" constantly! :P

[karenmvinson11]

oh ok so its like semi cooked

[nagemtdiw]

You 2 are the funniest couple. i didnt really wanna make beef jerky, just wanted a laugh, which i did :) I gotta say i love the way u say arse lol. please say it more!

[Kayleebob]

@nagemtdiw Haha, thanks! :)

[karenmvinson11]

love the random santa beard moment the dehidrater cooks the meat ithought it only took the moisture out of it

[Kayleebob]

@karenmvinson11 It does just take the moisture out, actually. It uses a low amount of heat and air to do just that!

[Cashis4life]

hahaha. Love the Santa beard.

That's what she said, is awesome!

The jerky looks good! I will definitely have to try it. I don't have a dehydrator, but I think the oven on a low temp will work as well.

[Kayleebob]

@Cashis4life Yep, the oven should work fine - I'd just google to check on temperature and length of time and all that.

[MsRaider88]

The last step is to send Cinda some!! hahaha<3

[Kayleebob]

@MsRaider88 Hehehe, I'll stick some in your Christmas card. ;)

[HeyThatsMike]

So have the butcher cut it up into steaks basically. Oh never mind now I see how you are cutting it. Can you do it in the oven? Oh that stuff looks SO good.

[Kayleebob]

@HeyThatsMike I'm pretty sure it's possible in the oven, would probably just have to Google it! And it IS so good, haha. It was gone in about 24 hours. =X We're fatties.

[mina247]

I LOVE this video! we LOVE beef jerky! Wish we lived closer so I could eat some haha!

[Kayleebob]

@mina247 Glad to hear it! :) Making your own is just so much easier (and cheaper) than buying the store bought stuff!

[scottlee64]

@Kayleebob Easier? No it's not. It's just a lot cheaper (beyond the initial equipment/supply purchase) and often far better tasting :P

[Kayleebob]

@scottlee64 Psssshaw. :P
