Same here. Back in the day when I was cutting retail meat we couldn't hardly give it away. We were breaking our own sides and fronts then and it went into the scraps for ground beef most of the time. There were few people that knew how good a flank steak could be.

you 86'ed the liquid smoke!

Because I’m smoking it tomorrow. Real smoke > liquid smoke.

I make a lot of venison jersey, some goose and some beef. Here's the thing. I'll use a couple of venison roasts, make two full gallon bags of jersey. It's two days of marinating and two days of dehydrating. Then my kids and I devour it in like three weeks.

It's way cheaper to make your own but time consuming if you eat a lot of for a rtwo pound roast.
2 cups soy sauce
1 cup worchestershire
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
Quarter cup red chili flakes
1 cup orange juice
Two tablespoons minced garlic
Mix all those for the marinade. Slice the meat to 1/4 inch slices. Marinate sliced meat for two days. Then dehydrate in a dehydrator. Mine is the Ronco model but any will do.

I guess you'd forgotten the inside joke.

95$ a kilo here, for jack links even :thumb: :D

If you buy Jack Links hope you don't get a moldy bag

i don't buy, just looked due to this thread :D

Real men don't "liquid smoke", thats for vapor's.

Making me think.... no, they wouldn't.

"lemme give you a what if"
I KNOW its' not jerky but we sell country meats as a fundraiser over 1000 sticks at a time. They made a video about snack sticks.

now you know what your eating with the cheap ones.
They have some amazing and some not so amazing flavors. Their original smoked hickory is a close to GOOD beef jerky as you can get perfect black pepper kick. Bold Terryaki is great and we sell a lot of ghost pepper.
You can buy a box of 144 sticks for .55c each and have meatsticks for months!

Did you say "GHOST PEPPER"???????

Thanks for the lead, I was looking for a fund raiser/ product for a car club and this may be a good one since 98% of the group are men.

I had, but I remember now! ROFL

This is true. It's criminal the way meat prices have gone up. A friend of mine told me about Zaycon - and I thought he was nuts until we tried it. Holy shit!

When I am going to make Jerky - I grab the beef out of the freezer and have at it.

I am looking at that, It looks like you get a choice of a few items sold in quanity at close to club prices and probably the same sources.

Is it worth it? I would buy a case of pork tenderloins as I live off those but the last 24, 12 2 pks, I bought were .50 less than buying in bulk from them.

The AB recipe is so-so. The teriyaki I made is pretty great.
