How do you make beef jerky?!
Answers: I have always wanted to make my own jerky and was curious on how to do it? Thank you.
it's a bit of a tedious process but, I'll try and write it down lol
Firstly go to your butchers and get a lovely beef tenderloin have them slice it very thinly for you. Now that you have that done you can make the marinating sauce. Here is what I use
for about 6-8 pounds of sliced beef.
two cups dark soya sauce, one cup of honey, two cups terryaki sauce, a few drops of liquid smoke or half a cup of smokey BBQ sauce which ever you have. Be careful about adding any salt as both soya and terryaki are salty.
Let the sliced beef soak in this for 24 hours.
Now preheat your oven to 100 to 150 degrees no hotter or you will cook the meat and not dry it.
I take cake cooling grills and place them on a cookie sheet
I can get four cookie sheets into my oven at once.
Take the meat out of the marinade and run it through your fingers to get the excess marinade off the meat. Lay out on the cake grates you have put onto the cookie sheets, don't over crowd you have to let air circulate, that's why you put them up raised on the cookie sheet.
This drying can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours depending on how thick the slices of beef are.
Now please keep in mind the texture will be different than store bought.
It will tend to be more towards the crisp side of chewy.
Good luck any more detailed methods might be found on the internet but, that is how I do it.
you harass it until it becomes mean then it's kind of got a jerky attitude
Go to www.google.com and search for "how to make beef jerky"
Just don't read to it, as a child.
(Season, slice thin and cook some steak.. then, leave it out on a pan, over a radiator in your house, if you can.) Instant jerky, all around. Now seriously, how does one "always want to make your own beef jerky"...? Write Santa Claus for some Slim Jim, and call it a day.. will you...
you just need an injector and a dehydrator it easy fun and delicious
put it in a dehydrator
Its made the same way like a mummie
Dry meet
I made some last week. First you have to buy a dehydrator. Cut lean beef thin and marinate it for a couple days in the fridge. Put it on the dehydrator for about 24 hours and voila JERKY!!
I would simply google it as it is a lengthly process
This is how my Mom makes it and it is delicious!!! She cuts really thing pieces of beef and then spices it. I like it with black pepper. Then she bakes it in the oven on the kind of tray that collects the juice/fat under it separately. Bake until it is dry to your taste. Enjoy!
This is not your conventional beef jerky that you get at 7/11 but it's waaaay better. :)
- Cut it into super thin strips
- marinate it overnight
- dry it out in your oven on a low temperature for a long time
But yeah, you should really search it on the web to find an exact technique.
I will be making some venison jerky soon, so I have been reading up on this a bit.
Get thin pieces of cooked meat that are aday old and already seasoned and hang them on a sunny place for about 2 days, then you are ready to go!!
Use dehydrator.
Buy a 1-1/2" thick round steak and 'slice it' to TWICE the 'thickness' you want your jerky to be, going the 'long way' of the 'grain' of the meat. Marinate it in something with a LOT of 'salt' in it. Put the slices onto 'open racks' with something under them to catch the drips. Place the racks into the oven and turn it down to the LOWEST temperature. It takes 8-12 hours to make jerky (it may take 2-8 hours longer if you like it 'thicker') and just leave it there. Open and 'check' it about once every 2 hours after the first 6 hours, and take it out when it's 'dried out' ... you don't need a 'smoker' or any 'fancy items' ... and you can 'season' your jerky any way you like ... I LOVE 'teriyaki jerky' and also the 'plain' that I just 'marinate in plain salt' for 8 hours before I put it into the oven.

Have a butcher at a supermarket cut a rump-roast into 1/8 in. thin slices and take it home and marinate it in liquid smoke and soy sauce for at least a day. Then layer it on your dehydrator and sprinkle with crushed red peppers or any spice you want if you want. It takes about a day in the dehydrator to get done.
