>>22097755>waste of timeNot to mention money too. If I am buying 5 lbs of meat why would I want to turn that into 1 lbs of beef. Lmao what a retard.
>>22097751i do soy sauce, worstershire sauce, fish sauce, garlic pweder, black pepper, msg. anthring else you want really. just make sure to taste the marinade as you go so you can get it to where you like. then just marinade for a day then dry it.hardest part is slicing the meat>>22097758i do it with pork loin sometimes its just as good and way cheaper
>>22097755>>22097758SARRRRRRRRRRRRRR DO NOT EAT THE BEEF SARRRRRRRRRRRR IT IS HOLY SAR
>>22097758you're paying for water
>>22097758>waste of money retarded fucking kike. i'm doing this because its fun to make cool new things
I use an air fryer with a dehydrate setting. Use a cheap tough and lean cut of meat such as eye of round. Quality of the meat doesn't matter so much given the abuse it will be facing, so I like to wait until it goes on sale and buy a big roast>Make marinade: soy sauce & worcestershire sauce (equal proportions, on the order of cups), garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, brown sugar, liquid smoke (also equal proportions, on the order of teaspoons). Precise amounts depend on how much beef you have, it should be enough to submerge the beef completely>Cut the beef into 1/4 inch thick slices. You can experiment with slicing with and against the grain, they give different textures. Freeze the roast for a few minutes first to make it easier to slice evenly without flopping around>Pound the slices flat, both to tenderize and to increase surface area so the water can evaporate faster. I don't like to use a spiked tenderizer for this cause you don't want to destroy the muscle fibers>Dehydrator for around 4 hours, check it every so often until you have the texture you want>It's done when if you bend it, you see white fibers on the inside but it doesn't crackPic rel I made a few months ago. I think the liquid smoke is a pretty important ingredient, it actually gives it a smoky flavor. If you really want it to have that pink color like in OP's photo, you can add curing salt but it's not really necessary - even without curing it should survive in the fridge for months, especially if you vacuum seal it
>>22097762>worstershire
>>22098103Forgot to mention, you put the beef slices into the marinade so that it's submerged. Best is a covered container. Leave it in the fridge overnight.

>>22098210Sounds gay
>>22097751I haven't personally done it but I've heard of successful jerky in the oven by putting it on lowest setting to bake and propping the door open with a wooden spoon. The beef must be hanging by the rack above something to catch drippings.Some anons have also brought it up but jerky made with pork is also quite good and cheaper, I'd recommend a sweet marinade with brown sugar or maybe maple and sesame seeds.What appliances are available or your preference OP?
>>22098210This is the poor piece of shit version
>>22098330You can do it in the oven but it's a pain in the ass and a mess. Getting a dedicated dehydrator (I have Nesco and like it) is so much easier and it's not that expensive or I just use my air fryer now because it's already sitting on my counter. Pork jerky you're supposed to cook first which makes it really dry and not very good in my opinion. Same with chicken. The real shame today is that there really isn't any cheap beef. I used to find top round/london broil on sale for $1/lb sometimes and I would freeze it until I wanted to make Jerky but those days are long gone. Ground beef jerky is pretty good but it's a lot easier to fuck up. If you dry it too much it's basically inedible. Zucchini chips are a good cheap easy snack that you can flavor however you like even though 95% of a zucchini is water weight.
>>22098111Worst is sure
>>22098210sounds nice, though I'd probably skip the brown sugar since the pineapple is already sweet enough
>>22098111are you really gonna quote me for not knowing how to spell that shit off the cuff? come on man
>>22098382If you've got a big pan to catch drippings where does the mess come from?
>>22098103Eye round is the most tender if you cook it correctly (very quickly and hot)
>>22097751Hey everybody this guys asking how to jerk his beef! Hahahaha.
>>22099354We’re dehydrating not cooking. Pay attention.
>>22099354I would like to know more. What makes it tender? Is it like a thicker steak you cook rare, or are you talking thin slices? Whenever I try to sear eye of round, it's super tough and dry.
