Tip: like he said, the longer you marinade, the better! True, very true! Overnight at a very minimum, but 4-5 days is best! After 4-5 days the meat becomes a dark color because it is marinated to the core and super flavorful! I use 2/3 Worcestershire, 1/3 soy sauce and a good splash of liquid smoke. Then a bunch of Lawrys seasoned salt and garlic granules just before dehydrating! Perfect!
@@trailerparkcryptoking5213 Fair enough, I'm going away for a couple weeks but I'll try it when I get back. Even though I'll be itching to just use it by day 2 lol
I’ve been making jerky for a while now and realized that top round or eye of round are good lean cuts of meat but they aren’t cheap but the cut of meat that nobody talks about that is arguable better and cheaper in my opinion is skirt steak it may have a higher fat content but it can be trimmed off and to be honest with you the prep is a 1000% easier than chopping up one of those 1 and a half pound roast and I can get double the meat for the same price
Eye of round has always been my choice. I slice across the grain with a cheapo meat slicer. The freezer firm-up is also something I do. I go with about an eighth inch, but then again, I use a slicer. You can get vacuum containers for FoodSaver type appliances, which make marinating go faster. I also use a vacuum attachment to store it in mason jars. My recipe is similar to yours, but I put a little lime in it to add some dimension to the "kick."
@@Severris Properly prepared and kept refrigerated, I wouldn't worry a whole lot. Of course the old joke about beef jerky is "I don't know how long it lasts, because it's gone in a week."
The main reason one slices the cuts with the grain is if in a backpack, the jersey will not break up as much. If making Pemican, cut cross grain so it will powder easier.
If you like a more classic cowboy jerky air dry it before smoking to form what is called the pelicle and reduce moisture. The pelicle is the shiny surface you see on good jerky that in my opinion is an absolute must have quality. The smoke flavor also sticks much better with the pelicle. Smoking meat high in moisture without the pelicle results in the meat cooking instead of curing.
When I was a kid in Colorado 60 years ago jerky was so hard that it took an entire day of sucking and gnawing to eat one strip. This looks much more humane!
Thank you for the video!! I've watched 5 videos before this, and yours was the most helpful. I'm going to try this for the first time, and I'm much more confident now. So many folks in the contents have had great tips as well.
I absolutely love biltong! I have built a biltong drying box at my house and often make it when I need a change from making jerky. It's nice not having to smoke it too as I can make it indoors.
Did I miss the LINK showing how much of each ingredient to make the marinade? I’m brand new and this will be my first attempt at beef jerky…it looks SOOOOO good!!
I make beef jerky all the time,, my favorite is to just cut it and use a lot of pepper and a little salt on both sides.. But the way to store it is in a freezer bag in the freezer. Just take out what you want to eat and put the bag back in the freezer.. You will finish the bag before it ever gets freezer burnt and it is very good right out of the freezer!
Great teriyaki recipe. I'd add a little ginger too! I do like the simple ones. Have you ever used an oils in yours? I think a tablespoon or so would be good for flavor and texture, but would shorten the shelf life going rancid... To share my Go to recipe: 1 C. Soy sauce 1 C. Worcestershire sauce 2 Tbsp. liquid smoke 2 Tbsp. black pepper 2 Tbsp. Fajita seasoning Cure as desired.
Using a leaner cut is better because the fat goes rancid before the beef goes bad. But I also usually eat all of my jerky before that could ever happen 😆
I love teryaki jerky! Im gonna be trying this soon. Why pay through the nose for a small handful of this stuff when you can make easily 5x the amount for the same price?
Once it dehydrates it’s about hlf the weight. Cost about the same as some store bought when you factor in moisture. Then factor in 4-5$ bottle of teriyaki….
Goodness, now i know the difference. We marinade longer pieces of beef normally with a nice layer of fat on the one side for about 24 hours, also in a blended marinade of your choice. Then we hang the raw marinated meat in a meat drier with a fan for about 3 to 6 days, depending how dry you want it. We do it with venison meat too as well as with raw beef sausage (wors) as we call it. Your jerky looks nice, though. Will try and make it for sure.
I prefer to put the meat and marinate in one of my plastic vacuum seal containers then vacuum seal the container to marinate and put that in the refrigerator for a couple days.
@@daniliedoina2261 It’s funny you say that because the wife recently bought two packages of bottom round that had already been sliced, and they were thick. Maybe not half an inch, but close. Nothing I could do about it so I marinated them and smoked them up this past weekend and I have to admit, thick jerky is amazing.
Did you use oven or grill? Another channel said that if you use an oven, you should increase temp a bit but also Crack it open and leave it in longer (5-6 hours).
The cutting process is important… the name is the key … you are supposed to shave the outside off like a mill shaves a log to make plywood … that’s the term jerking …
Great video. I wish you had weighed the jerky after cooking to show yield. That is the contributing factor to the high cost of Jerky. I bet it's close to store bought, but I'm sure much better. $12 meat, $4 Teriyaki sauce, $2 extra spices and honey, $3 charcoal, Zip-lock bag, gloves clean-up products for the grill grate, etc...At least $22... Yield...maybe 3/4 lb. That comes to a cost of $29 a lb. for the finished product. That isn't cheap !! Homemade Jerky is best suited for hunters who come home with 100 lbs. of game meat. BTW, that's how Jerky was invented, as a method of preserving meat. Still a great video. P.S....Just checked, store bought Jerky is under $20 a lb. I guess you pay for quality, Thanks.
@@updownstate LOL, so true, It's just a little rough on your backpack. Now Salmon jerky is another story. I say lets just stay home in the A/C out of the heat and humidity, grab some Lox, a bucket of cream cheese, some sliced Vidalia onions, and a loaf of fresh baked bread. Yum
@@Paleotech1 Honestly to me this just seems like it comes out like way overdone steak from the unnecessary thickness, much more like plywood and I wouldn't even call it jerky.
Tip: when sealing a ziplock bag, fill a bowl with water and dip the bag up to the top, then zip it. it will push all the air out
Great comment. Forgotten tip
Or use a straw lol

@@d.b.1176literally all you need.
Thanks for the video, Got to try your recipe in my dehydrator.
Quick tip! When pulling the jerky off the grill put it in a paper bag so the meat can breathe. Helps keep the pieces moist
Great. Can’t believe the difference between not doing that last step of bagging it and doing it. Great tip
Clear, concise, and great results. Thank you!

How long will they last in your mason jars? I'm also considering vacuum sealing them and keeping them in the freezer.

The main reason one slices the cuts with the grain is if in a backpack, the jersey will not break up as much. If making Pemican, cut cross grain so it will powder easier.
The main reason why you cut with the grain is the meat will be more tender meaning it will make it easier to chew

your channel really improved, much respect how you grew this channel in this competitive bbq youtube space
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

How long will the jerky last?
How long (approximately) is the jerky good for after dehydrating?
Can't wait to try it 😊
Nice video bro . Ima give your recipe and method a try. ❤
Looks good I do that with my deer and goats every year
Thanks, I'll give it a shot!
I might even try this marinade on a chunk im roasting too
Great vid. Simple recipe and to the point. Leave that bag of meat in the fridge for 2 days.
Never had beef jerky in my life. Living in South Africa we make biltong, which is aparently close to jerky.
I absolutely love biltong! I have built a biltong drying box at my house and often make it when I need a change from making jerky. It's nice not having to smoke it too as I can make it indoors.
Thanks for the info 😊
What's the exact measurements for seasoning/marinade?
This is one recipie i gotta try. Love jerky.
It's so good!
Awesome video! Q: How do you store it and, how long does it last stored? ✌️
THANK YOU FOR GIVING THE COST ... looks delicious dude.
it really depends on the meat, store and country. lately i doubt its that cheap
Did I miss the LINK showing how much of each ingredient to make the marinade? I’m brand new and this will be my first attempt at beef jerky…it looks SOOOOO good!!
Looks great! How do you store it and how long can it be stored?
I store it in the ziplock bag to limit the exposure of oxygen. It's OK for a few days
I make beef jerky all the time,, my favorite is to just cut it and use a lot of pepper and a little salt on both sides.. But the way to store it is in a freezer bag in the freezer. Just take out what you want to eat and put the bag back in the freezer.. You will finish the bag before it ever gets freezer burnt and it is very good right out of the freezer!
Ok i just checked out your store. Which of your seasoning mixes would you recommend for doing these projects?
My mum makes it with just plain salt n it tastes super good.
Great teriyaki recipe. I'd add a little ginger too!
I do like the simple ones.
Have you ever used an oils in yours?
I think a tablespoon or so would be good for flavor and texture, but would shorten the shelf life going rancid...
To share my Go to recipe:
1 C. Soy sauce
1 C. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. liquid smoke
2 Tbsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp. Fajita seasoning
Cure as desired.
So how long will this keep? Wondering about using a food sealer and throwing it in the freezer - 6 mths? 1 yr? more?
That's a common question, and the most common answer is "I don't know-it's never around long enough to find out!"
Your marinade is godlike..
Very good explanation on cutting meat for jerky. Teriyaki is my favourite. Bon appetite from Canader eh!
The country where 6,99$ a pound for beef was last seen in 1952.
What are the measurements for your suggested receipe? Went to your receipe blog and this wasn't listed?
Using a leaner cut is better because the fat goes rancid before the beef goes bad. But I also usually eat all of my jerky before that could ever happen 😆
What size wire racks are you using in the XL egg ??
Are the degrees in Fahrenheit or Celsius or kelvin? I wanna make this
Just from the sound of it, Farenheight. 180 Celsius would be WAY too hot. Probably not measuring in Kelvin lolol.
if you partially freeze the meat its easier to slice thinner
Everyone should try using a lot of Caraway seeds for even more flavor….makes jerky meat taste amazing….
Liked, hiking, camping, lake, summertime or granola bars.
Hello, 👋 did you try the recipes ?
I love teryaki jerky! Im gonna be trying this soon. Why pay through the nose for a small handful of this stuff when you can make easily 5x the amount for the same price?
If you don’t have a GreenEgg can you use a regular charcoal grill? Thanks
Yes
Nice marinade 😋
Use to love your vids on Instagram, but after getting booted off there, nice to see more vids on TH-cam! Great content as always!
There’s no curing salt, so how long does this keep? Is the finished jerky safe at room temp for a day or two?
Looking good! Minus the red pepper flakes. Don't like spicy food.
Once it dehydrates it’s about hlf the weight. Cost about the same as some store bought when you factor in moisture. Then factor in 4-5$ bottle of teriyaki….
But no chemical sh!tstorm
I still prefer my jerky on dehydrator with liquid smoke. I dont know why But I much prefer it and thinner slices than my smoker
Me too.
Looks great, Thank-You for posting. Is the recipe up somewhere?
I do have a beef jerky recipe up on my website. Grillinwithdad.com
Nice job

I use a vacuum sealer.
I prefer forking the meat thoroughly for maximum marination and subscribe to the 4-5 day soak too.
I love beef jerky Maciek!!! It's my favorite snack. 😊
It's so good!
Can London broil be used??
Of course, steak, ground beef, any meat can be jerky including spam.
London broil / round is popular for jerky.
How much does the jerky weigh after its made? Is the price of making it cheaper than buying it?
OMG, I am going to hang this in my halogen oven for a few hours. Thank you so much for sharing ;~}
Is this shelf stable or do you need to fridge it?
It's not cured. It will need a fridge. It has lots of moisture and smoked at a hight temp cooking it rather than curing it.
I prefer to put the meat and marinate in one of my plastic vacuum seal containers then vacuum seal the container to marinate and put that in the refrigerator for a couple days.
How do u dehydrate it without the tools? The old-school way?
Define old school... you mean just letting the meat dry on its own outside in places like africa?
Before I try it, how do I store the leftovers and how long will they last?
Store them in a ziplock bag in the fridge. Can last up to a week in the fridge
Great video, but what is the shelf life?
Great video. Just a tip put your meat in the freezer for a hour it's easier to cut.
How long will this last?
Good info
Does this have to be refrigerated after it’s done?
No
I would, or consider using curing salt.
could you add liquid smoke to the marinade if doing it in the oven
you could
I use liquid smoke with the Nesco dehydrator.
Those are supposed to be 1/4" slices? Dude, those are steaks.
might be a bit too thick to your liking but thicker jerky is so much better
@@daniliedoina2261 It’s funny you say that because the wife recently bought two packages of bottom round that had already been sliced, and they were thick. Maybe not half an inch, but close.

Wish I was your neighbor! Another one I gotta try! TFS
Nice!
Tip: smoke at 150 for three hours, flip 1.5 hours in.
when you say 180 - 200 degrees are you talking Celsius of Fahrenheit?
Can other meats be used? Fish? Foul? Any recipe changes? I know and have tasted venison.
Did exactly as you said to do, cooked it at 180 degrees and i have 4 pounds of charred meat that now has to go in the garbage can.
Interesting.did mine in an electric Master built and it came out perfectly.
Mine came out like charcoal too! Trashed it

Should you store it in the fridge?
Yes
I thought Leonardo DiCaprio was teaching how to make beef jerky for a second 😂
I only use salt
You want to go with 1/8 th thick cuts a quarter is way to thick
You have viewers in USA and Europe and elsewhere , so maybe worth saying whether you are talking centigrade or Fahrenheit

lol when i heard him say the price i was like wtf then i looked and saw how old the video is. Good luck getting it for that price today.
lol to be fair the slices you are cutting are no where 1/4 inch lol those are like half inch lol at least.
I used to make homemade jerky, but meat is not in my budget anymore, and it’s expensive to buy, so no more jerky for us.
I cut the beef with the grain. Much better.
Tenderer not more tender.
the dull knife though lol but great recipe.
