Damn good beef jerky

Can you make damn good beef jerky at home? Most certainly you can and with the tools and ingredients you have in your own home or kitchen. So what does it take to make damn good beef jerky? I could say a steady hand and years of practice but that would be BS. No, all it takes is choosing good meat, good ingredients for the marinade, follow the process carefully and with good attention to cleanliness. You will need to have a controlled slow drying environment but most ovens can handle that. Oh yes, you will also need a good beef jerky recipie.

Make your own beef jerky

Make your own beef jerky, what's the process? If you want the freshest and best beef jerky all you need to do is get some good meat, have it partially frozen for easy slicing, marinade it for 24 hours, place on the drying racks of your dehydrator and dry for about 6 hours carefully making sure the drying is even. Seriously this is all you need to do to make your own beef jerky. A word of warning, your first batch might not be quite as good as you expect but, with a little practice, you will make some damn good beef jerky.
