Time to make some Beef Jerky
« on: March 07, 2022, 12:45:50 PM »
Here are the ingredients for the marinades and the marinades.
Will be two different ones.  My standard one and one for Teriyaki.
Will sit in fridge overnight.
Tomorrow I will post pictures of the Jerky.

That looks like quite the concoction.  I just use the Hi Mountain original dry mix for the season.  The girls like it so I stick with what works.

The four bottles on the right have duplicates.
Wouldn't be enough in just the front bottles.

Cut it a little thicker and don't dry it out as much

I do make mine so it's chewy, and not like you get in the stores.

Yes cut closer to 3/8" and take out when you are happy.
I can go either way, thin and dry that you can chew on it for 30 minutes, or thicker like the Jack Links Beef Steaks.

That is why we use tenderloin, very soft chew and teeth friendly. It is the only thing we use anymore.
Seems also that the shrinkage is less.

Bent, take everyone's advice.  A little thicker, not so dry, a good cut of beef, and cut across the grain.  Nothing like the overpriced garbage cut with the grain from the stores.

Here's where we are at today.
Meat went in the freezer for a couple hours to make it easier to slice.
Sliced, bagged with marinade, and into the fridge until tomorrow.
Will post a couple more pics tomorrow.

I normally like to cut with the grain. I don't always but find depending one what I am making I go with grain.

Even the thicker is bad on it.  It is not the chewing, it is the 90 minutes of trying to get it out of the teeth I do not like.

In the smoker...

Top three jerky/cheese racks came with the smoker.
I have some that I bough for using in the Memphis, but couldn't find them.
So, used a Frogmat on the bottom rack.

Are you just using the cold smoker or do you have the Camp Chef turned on low heat?
