Answer 1

yes, I make great jerky, much less expensive than chemically treated store bought stuff. My family gobbles it up. I use fresh beef or venison roasts (if beef, low marbling) I cut thin slices using an electric knife (1/8 inch or less). Then I place all the slices in a large plastic container with a tight fitting lid. You can flavor any way you like, I use worchestrshire, & fresh garlic, with some fresh ground pepper. cover the meat with your mixture, cover and refrigerate. turn the container every couple of hours to thoroughly cover the meat. (I usually let it sit 24 hours). I then drain the meat, and either use my dehydrator or use the oven, set on low (approx 175 degrees). place the meat on metal racks or foil with holes punched in it if you use the oven, you'll also have to "flip" the pieces over a couple times in the oven. Depending on how thick you cut the meat, it may take 24 to 72 hours to totally dry the meat. Once done, place in an airtight container. I don't know ho long it really lasts since I've never been able to keep it longer than a week before it's all devoured. When I make it, I cut up about 10 lbs of meat and use approx 3-4 cups of marinade.

Answer 4

Beef Jerky
Serves 12 oz

2 lbs Flank Steak
2/3 Cup Worcestershire Sauce
2/3 Cup Soy Sauce, low sodium
1 Tbsp Honey
2 Tbsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
2 Tbsp Onion Powder
1 Tsp Liquid Smoke
1 Tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Special Equipment:
1 box fan, 4 new paper air-conditioning filters, and 2 bungee cords

Instructions:
Trim the flank steak of any excess fat, place in a zip-top bag, and place it in the freezer for 1-2 hours in order to firm up.

Remove the steak from the freezer and thinly slice the meat with the grain, into long strips.

Place the strips of meat along with all of the remaining ingredients into a large, 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and move around to evenly distribute all of the ingredients. Place the bag into the refrigerator for 3-6 hours.

Remove the meat from the brine and pat dry. Evenly distribute the strips of meat onto 3 of the air filters, laying them in the grooves and then stacking the filters on top of one another. Top these with 1 empty filter. Next, lay the box fan on its side and lay the filters on top of it. Strap the filters to the fan with 2 bungee cords. Stand the fan upright, plug in and set to medium. Allow the meat dry for 8-12 hours. If using a commercial dehydrator, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Once dry, store in a cool dry place, in an airtight container for 2-3 months.
