Girlfriend's dad uses deer meat that he shot to make his and that is the only kind that I can eat.

All the stuff that I have had from the store makes me feel really weird, even Slim Jims.

Wierd like spaced out? Its the E numbers, I get that with certain sweets [rofl]

never had beef jerky

Neither had I. In fact I'm not entirely sure what it is.

Been jerking it myself for years now !

[rofl][rofl]

Without going into specifics, unless you want of course?
What what kind of temp and how long do you leave it in the oven for?

Just in case I want to give it a try, because it looks pretty yummy.
and if its worth while I wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

It's obviously an American thing then

Yet since most americans seem to love it, I'd love to give it a try [thumbup] now if only I knew the dutch equivalent ..

It's quite popular in Hong Kong as well. Literally translated it is called "Cow Meat Dry" [rofl] which is basically what it is. Just dried beef.

Love the stuff but I haven't had it in ages Plus I can't bring any back from HK. It's sooooo cheap over there!

[usaneisfiecup]

I love it but to buy here in the UK its really really expensive for a crappy little bag, hardly anywhere sells it aswell.

Love the stuff [thumbup] My dad makes some every now and then and its so good. It is expensive to buy though [thumbdown]

[asivisepo]

I've never tried to make any myself, but there is nothing better to me than some correctly done Deer jerky.

Deer is by far the best. Beats beef by miles.

My step father makes jerky every hunting season. I've never made any myself. I usually just buy beef jerky at wal-mart. I suck at any form of cooking.

Well its pretty abundant here in the US, mostly from mass producers though(think fast food) I can't stand that stuff! Like my beer I prefer small batch stuff, which is pretty expensive.

That said, its very good to have friends that hunt which I have a couple, but not enough to keep me happy in deer jerky for to long, which like has been said... some of the best.

We sometimes have the kind of meat that would be good for jerky at a really good price near me, but I've just never put the effort into trying it myself, thats why I look to people like Golem and anyone else that has knowledge.

Do you need an oven with a dehydration mode or are there other methods of... jerking?

... you're such a perv.


They sell smoke houses. There's all sorts of tools for the job. You can even use those fruit/veggie dehydrators you used to see on infomercials. You could probably even find more junk if you went to a Rural King.
