Recently got my hands on a dehydrator. I want to make beef jerky, but before i start want your (EXPERT)) input on what cut of beef i should use. What would you guys recommend?

>> No.15470332

If you want /ck/'s expert opinion, ask about fast food and microwavable dinners.

Goat beef. Turkey makes good beef jerky too, and so does salmon.

All I remember is your beef should be super lean. Look for one of those cuts that is all red, no white fat. You want like 99% lean here, meat that would be absolutely shitty if grilled.

You want extremely lean beef. So top round, bottom round, eye round, possibly flank, and possibly sirloin tip. How its sliced is very important.

Great advice, i will keep that in mind :)

Great ideas! I think i will hold off on other meats until i have a little more experience with it, but i will definitely try some of these later if all goes well

You better post some fucking pictures, asshole, once youre done.
Go for top/bottom/eye round.
Freeze for 30min, so you can cut into thin strips, then marinade overnight.

>> No.15470648

>>15470316
Don't use any thick sauces for your marinade, it fucks up the final product. If you use liquid sauces, stick to those with the consistency of water(liquid smoke, worchestire, hot sauce), or water with solids in it (siracha, chili paste)

The one thing about beefy jerk you're gonna here from everyone is that you actually can have fat on it and it's delicious. It just doesn't store very long like lean meat, which is why no commercial brands have fat on them

>> No.15471069

>>15470316
eye of round should work, the stores i frequent don't carry your typical jerky cuts.
>>15470623
this is good advice

tell your butcher you're looking to make jerky and if he's cool he will slice it really thin

>> No.15471323

Will he slice it so thin it melts in the pan?

This is exactly what I do, I've made about 6 batches of jerky and I'm always pleased.

I've been thinking about getting a dehydrator to dehydrate vegetables, so I can grind them and use them in my noodles, or just use them as small pieces on my soup.
Anyone dehydrated homemade roast beef?

can confirm, turkey jerky is great

healthier than the other meats too, so you don't need to feel guilty eating it

You want something very lean and cheap. Eye of Round is my go to.

Brisket is good too. I usually have my butcher slice it across the grain at 1/4 inch.

After that I do a simple soy sauce marinate over night and just dehydrate it until it's good.

Pemmican is just meatloaf-jerky. Change my mind

If you ever find one odd piece with some fat on it though unfff it's the best piece in the bag.
Kroger makes some dried pork belly "jerky" bites and fuck's sake both the original and the KBBQ are addictive as fuck.
