Homemade Beef Jerky

[kighin]

if it doesn't work out and you get sick, no worries free healthcare! :P

[parker1ray]

If you cut the jerky against the grain it will be far more tender after smoking!

I love these vids!!!

[seabee87]

I cut it into about 1 inch wide strips (same thickness as you though, maybe a little thicker) then put it in cotton ridged air filters . then put another air filter on the end to lock the meat between the two filters. then bungie cord the filters to a box fan and dry it with the cool air from the box fan for 2+ days.

[ladyjk19731]

I was wondering if you have to keep it all in one strip or can you cut it into 1/8 thick seperate pieces I am terrible at cutting meat like that I have tried HaHa I grew up in New Mexico and my next store neighbor was a very old mexican women and she use to make her jerky just like that but I cant seem to cut the meat right that way.

[Faztlan]

We do it right off the tendedores out here in West TEXAS but 0 humidity ya saben.... so cloth lines have clothes and a few hangin strips of beef in between... haha -TX

Unless you guys are trying to "get in touch with your ancestors" here with the traditional method or your oven starts at 200C, you know you can do this in the oven in like, 4-6 hrs, right?

Marinate for 24 hrs, pat dry all the excess moisture (i.e. don't lay out dripping pieces of meat - that just doubles the drying time - once the marinade is done, the meat has absorbed all it can), and put it in the oven at 150C or "warm" or w/e...the lowest setting. You will have jerky in like 6 hrs.

[foodtease]

@channelswimmer Most of out ancestors also had fire and ovens too :) but yes, we were following a traditional Mexican inspired preparation in this recipe. We love the way it turns out and the fact it doesn't require a very long marinade and the use of power or gas to get the results we like.

[ncbookz]

why do so many people say you need to smoke it? did you guys get sick? did you use salt?

[verdemanthe1]

@ncbookz people like smoked meat instead of jerky cause they dont know any better

[civicturbolive]

Strange but i have a feeling that i know you guys still if i don't know you. Weird!

[galletinN]

can u tell me please the "sauce" recipe.

[Moe7133]

Slice them in smaller piece and put them inside those White Air condition filter. Use a rubberband to tie up filter and put it next to a fan.

[Lilaan]

Please see Good Eats season 9, episode 3 for details. Alton Brown knows how it's done :D

[CaptainGratiot]

[ChickenNugget3467]

i want to make some deer jerkey now but sadly its not deer season....:( and even it it was i don't think my dad would go deer hunting... so i guess i'll have to make beef jerky instead.. lol

[flynak3d]

that gives a whole new meaning to the phrase meat curtains

[sub7design]

my mouth is watering from the roll of raw meat. i will eat it like that thank you.

[civicturbolive]

The day your child will born do you think he will be brown or ginger?

[turbokid2005]

i think i am going to try this.... i didnt know you could make beef jerky with out cooking it. What kind of meat is that? I like the way you guys cut it, very smart. Thanks for posting this!!

[brainstillloading]

Brilliant (:

[jrkleven]

brings new meaning to the term beef curtains!

[SEECH7]

@jrkleven beat me to it i take my hat off too u

[shishapuffin]

id rather use a dehydrator. But this is a very old school way of making it. I hate most jerky too, they add too much glaze which makes it sweet. The only store bought ones I like are oh boy oberto, and bridgeford jerky. I cant stand jack links jerky... no flavor unless u like sweet jerky. I just ordered spicy beef jerky from Czuchraj which was on the food network best thing I ever ate. I cant wait to try it

[verdemanthe1]

@shishapuffin oberto jerky is crap,see if your local mom an pop butcher shop sell jerky(most do)and buy it from them and I guarantee it will be ten times better

[tubetubetube]

Why everyone is so afraid of geting sick. It dry meat, not rotten meat. No fly got on it to lay eggs. What is the fucking problem?

[msparky24]

did you get sick. I want to try it but afraid to get sick

[foodtease]

Haha, no getting sick, we've made jerky this way a dozen times now.

[jepsk666]

@foodtease yea, theres no way of getting sick. Beef is edible even raw.

[HEEEEEEEEHAA]

@jepsk666

ever heard of mad cow disease?

[superspy35]

@msparky24 you wont get sick if cut off all the fat because does not dehydrate and rots

[freddytk421]

They will cut it for you at the grocery store where you buy it for free with a machine in about 12 seconds if you ask them to.

[swibo6]

Looked good! If people are worried about getting sick they should check out how "biltong" is made. A lot of people from south africa love it including several doctors that I know.

[AznLiishii123]

lol when you cut it it looked like ham to me!xD

[jonnycapone1]

are you still alive, after eating that?

[onelovekorea]

thats how to make normal beef jerky dumb shit

[bierstadt77]

Thanks for the info! Did you get sick from the jerky? I would not think you would.

[Gaznuts308]

Great Video, very informative and useful (so long as nobody got really sick from rancid meat).
