I do.
Beef jerky is easy and inexpensive to make if you have a food dryer. I got one for $5 at a garage sale. |

California Kid beat me to it. All you have to come up with is a good marinade, and dry the stuff.
Try to trim out as much of the fat as you can. It tends to go rancid if stored for a long time after drying. (Going to check my current batch of venison jerky. mmmmmMMMMM!) -Gloftoe |

Quoted: I got some of this [url]www.garywest.com[/url] through Cabelas recently, and, although expensive, it was a lot better than that crap they peddle in the stores. Who makes the best tastin' jerky or "tenders" that you've had? I sure hope this stuff is great...it just cost me 31.00! |

Quoted: ...What type of beef are you using?... My favorite is fresh, fully trimmed eye of round. I usually buy it at an Asian grocery store (99 Ranch Market in San Diego). It's very lean and tender. London broil works well too. Whatever you use, cut perpendicular to the grain and keep the slices thin and uniform as possible. I cut it to about 3/32" - 1/8". |

What do you guys use for a marinade? I have a dehydrator and it works great, but it always ends up tasting funny. I figure it is the marinade.

Lots of soy sauce, some fresh lime juice, garlic powder, New Mexico chili or cayenne pepper, black pepper, some vinegar or a slug of gin or bourbon, whatever you feel like. Commercial or your homemade teriyaki sauce works fine if you're lazy.

You might try special trim or beef trimming as it is sometimes called.nice and tender if prepared properly.
BTW I think Obertos is the best but being from the NW I am a little biased. |

I do---only it's venison. Problem is, someone else always seems to eat it all.

Quoted: This is good: [url]http://www.smokedmeats.com[/url] ... Yes, that is a great place. Anyone who drives through Bishop MUST go to Mahogany Smoked Meats. Get the smoked ham shanks, the bacon, the... ARGH I'm getting hungry. Must go eat carnitas at my favorite cheap Tex-Mex place. |

Crocket Creek jerky, made in Maryville TN, is damn good stuff. Lucky for me I live right down the road from their factory outlet :)
CK - I never knew you made jerky - I should have bummed some off you when I visited! :) |

Other than the local locker, I prefer WILD BILL'S jerky, especially the meat sticks, for something that you can buy off the shelf.

Ostrich jerky is PEOPLE! ROFLMFAO! OK, in the interest of maintaining peace on the board everyone should send me a generous sample of your jerky and I will tabulate the results and determine who really makes the best jerky. |

Alright, so we can pretty much all agree here that for the BEST jerky, turn to your own creativity and time. However, if one must buy it commercially, I highly recommend these guys:

I am a "from scratch" type of guy, but I was givin a couple of boxes of Hi Mountain Jerky cure and seasoning and it rocked.
If this doesn't make a link could someone do that for me....I'm computer illiterate. http://www.himtnjerky.com/ BTW I like to use venison mainly, but any meat with minimal fat works great...but it all depends on how "jerky" you want your jerky. Good luck! |

I bought some for Christmas gifts and once I opened the first bag, I had to keep most for myself.[:)] Only gave away one bag. I guess if you want to save money, about the only way is to do it yourself. |
