? Beef Jerky

[Jagermeister]

I have a love of beef jerky but the problem is I can't find any locally that's worth a fuck. Wal-Mart use to have these big tubs you could buy for $25 and it was pretty good. Guess what. They took it off the damn shelves.

You shop online and you can find all kinds but how do you if it's good? FYI Jack Links is not good.

I use to buy Cedar Creek but they changed it and now it sucks.


Can anyone tell me where to buy some good beef jerky?

Really I am not joking!

How serious are you about this? Because (believe it or not) you can make it at home yourself out of cheap ass flank steak, and the results are surprisingly good. It's inexpensive to make, plus you can flavor it to you own taste. If you are interested, let me know and I'll write/type out the recipe.

I have tried making it before with little success. I have tried it in the oven, in a dehydrater even smoking it. It's just never that good.

I guess i'll order some of this and give it a try.

it was actually pretty good stuff, once in a while it was too dry.

I practically live on the stuff these days. I like Jack Links better than some other varieties I've tried - particularly their A-1 flavored version. I'd be interested in trying to make it at home...

The thing is, you do not need an oven. All you need is one of those box fans you find at a drug store for around 15 bucks. Essentially, you cut up the flank steak and marinate it in some seasonings of your choice for a few hours (or overnight) in your fridge. You lie the fan down between two chairs, then strap an a/c filter over it. When that is set, you place the strips on the filter and turn on the fan, running it for around 10-12 hours.

It's that easy, and you don't need one of those damned dehydrator gadgets to do it.

Blah! Order some from that link and try it bro. It will blow that mass produced stuff away. Jack Links, Oberto all that stuff gives me the shits!

Or on the back porch, as long as it's enclosed. You don't want the neighbor's dogs recreating the dinner scene in A Christmas Story, ya know?

This site has detailed reviews of jerky. Cool.
