best beef to use for making beef jerky?

Question

i would like to make some terrific beef jerky but i dont know what kind of beef to purchase, i also need some great recipies for the jerky

Answer 1

For tender beef jerky use top or bottm round. For a chewier product, use flank steak.

Cut meat with the grain for chewier product and against the grain for a more tender product

Check out toxictommy.com for recipes and spices

Answer 2

Flank cut thin on a hard bias
London broil cut into thin strips
Sirloin is ok.

Take this recipe and run with it. It's the basic recipe I use, then tweak it with everything I have in the kitchen. It'll be a different jerky everytime.

1 bottle low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 bottle liquid smoke
1 bottle worcestershire sauce
3 # beef, sliced thin

Marinate overnight

Ooh, also spiral ham makes great jerky

Answer 3

Just the other day a kid at school gave me some Kangaroo jerky that he bought at an exotic foods store (which had imported it from South Africa) it was Buffalo Bob's Kangaroo Jerky. As far as making jerky goes, good luck.

Answer 4

The meat should be very, very lean with as little marbling as possible. When you make jerky, you're drying it which acts to preserve the meat. Fat will go rancid.

Use round or rump roast.

Answer 5

Garbage in=garbage out, the best moderate to low marble meat you can find.
