Jack Scalfani shows you how to do homemade beef jerky. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL.
IT'S FREE.

Here is the recipe for the marinade that Jack used.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak
2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
2/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon liquid smoke 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (add more to make hotter)

Special Equipment: 1 box fan, 2 paper air-conditioning filters, and 2 bungee cords or shipping tape

Basically what you want to do is trim the meat of any fat. Then stick it in the freezer for about an hour or two until it's firm. You don't want it completely frozen, but this helps with the slicing. Cut long, thin strips WITH the grain. I know this is counterintuitive, but this is what you want to do for good jerky; we're not making steaks here. ;-)

Mix all of the marinade ingredients together in a large zip-lock baggy, and drop in your meat. Ensure all the pieces are coated, and throw it in the refrigerator for about 6 hours. When 6 hours is up, remove the meat, pat the pieces dry and grab your filters. Lay the strips out in the grooves of the filter. Cover with the other filter, and bungee or tape the stack to your (preferable square) box fan. Turn the fan on high, and let it blow over the meat for 12 hours.

After 12 hours is up, it's time to enjoy some delicious, delicious home made jerky.

  • you copied this from alton brown.... and didnt credit him once?

  • @IamProbablythebest mmm Beef.

  • @cyscoyisco thanks

  • @SvennJohansen This is a variation on how jerky has been made for 1000 years, so I would say it is safe.

  • @Warpedguitar28 The cells of the beef have lost their water. Usual cooking caramelizes the sugars and breaks the proteins. By losing their water, the beef is no longer capable of supporting bacterial growth. As far as your stomach is concerned though, it is raw, and it is difficult to digest.

    If you were to eat a ton of jerky, you would probably suffer constipation.

  • Seriously STOP ADVERTISING! WTF!!

  • silly question but how is it not raw steak still?

  • Cool! I'm gonna try this if I can. I'm subscribing!

  • Did not even relize that was beef jerky when it was done
