Chris, treat yourselves to the shabu shabu sliced beef at Costco. Not cheap at 9.99lb and usually @4lb packages but so good! I put slices on the shelves add salt and I add Montreal steak seasoning. I dehydrate for 5 hours and let rest in the machine until cool. Perfect for me, I’m 79 years old so I’m treating myself a lot! 😋

Little known trick... I go to Sam's and buy an eye round roast for $4.28/LB and buzz the meat staff, ask them to slice it 1/4" thick (with the grain). It beats trying to freeze it and cut it by hand or dragging out my meat slicer and then having to clean the thing and they slice it for free! I then trim it up a little at home and make it jerky sized pieces. Then just add your marinade and dehydrate in the same manner.

so I had to go look this up on making it more shelf stable I had heard this but could not remember exact info... so I did a search for why put the dehydrated jerky in the oven post drying... *Jerky that wasn't heated prior to marinade can be heated after dehydrating as a safety precaution. After drying, place strips on a baking sheet and heat 10 minutes in an oven at 275 degrees Fahrenheit.Oct 23, 2023 Home-Dried Jerky: Process and Tips - SDSU Extension what this does is kill the bacteria that goes dormant during dehydration but will grow afterwards

Top and bottom round sometimes goes on sale for $3.49 a pound as a loss leader probably at my local grocer. I stock up, and do several batches of jerky. I found out about biltong, which led me to look at how to make biltong boxes, which led me to make several different prototypes that have all worked way better than even imaginable for both biltong and jerky, and they were made with cardboard boxes and dollar tree skewers, some hot glue., Home made stainless steel hooks from wire I had..... And it's absolutely delicious, and I can mix and match seasonings easily. It can be as simple or complex as you make it and I just love that about jerky.

Hi Chris. I buy mineral salt at our fleet farm (like a big tractor supply). I get 40 pounds of Redmond's animal salt for about $12. It is coarse and I use a spice grinder to make it fine. It looks tan like sand but it is absolutely delicious and very high in minerals. It is mild in flavor and doesn't taste overly salty. (For me regular white salt can taste almost bitter) I use a ton of it. Much cheaper than buying the Redmond's in the grocery store which is about $12 a pound. I made jalapeno salt too with it. It would be great for curing meats and salt crusting on meats. Have a blessed day.

But if you use it for a salt bath then there is silt that is not dissolved by the hot water in the bottom of the tub after draining. I expect there would be less if I ground it up fine like I do for eating. It never tastes gritty when I eat it but I always grind it fine in a spice grinder. Redmond’s salt has natural iodine while Himalayan pink salt does not.

Interestingly enough, I recently discovered, to my dismay, the ingredient encapsulating various acids is typically a hydrogenated cottonseed (citric) or palm oil (lactic). The reason is so that the meat has time to set before the capsule melts, trapping the acid inside of the meat so that it’s more evenly preserved. So anyone that is in the no seed oil camp may wish to avoid. I don’t know if chomps uses a special version of this product that’s not hydrogenated or not a seed oil but it saddened me when I learned what these acids are generally made from.

I agree there’s a certain point where you hit and it just seems so far removed that it just can’t be good anymore.

Lactic acid is for a tangy flavor, whether it acts as a preservative or not. It’s expected in many sausages. If you’re making sausages you plan to dry, it’s common to add a little glucose and some live lactobacilli to convert the glucose (and any tiny amount of it naturally in the meat) into lactic acid. I’ve seen encapsulated citric acid (as well) as an ingredient in sausages and such. Flavor more than preservation I think.

@ChrisCookingNashville

18 күн бұрын

Lactic acid is a part of the form of fermentation used which fights off the bacteria that would grow in the meat. Without it this would spoil at room temperature.

that would seem rather expensive. The brand I would get in Australia has A$10 (about US$6-6.50) per 100g (3.52 ounces) of Droewors, they use Wild kangaroo (>60%), organic grass-fed & finished Australian beef brisket, gluten-free white vinegar, coriander seeds, sea salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves and collagen casing as the product similar to what Chris is making. So ends up about US$1.85 per ounce. They have Biltong that appears in Aldi here once or twice a year for A$7 for 70g, I like their sea salt variety the best (taste and ingredients). Organic grass-fed & finished Australian beef, gluten-free white vinegar and sea salt.. So you can avoid the curing salt if you use vinegar if you want to produce something that can last a few days without refrigeration depending on water content.

We travel a lot and spend 5 weeks in the Philippines each summer where you can’t buy any of this stuff even if you had the money so I’m going to fill my suitcase with jerky in July! 😎

Ash. I assumed a typo maybe. Haha thanks. I don’t care if others want to I use them, but I personally don’t and don’t see a logical reason to do so if I’m not making food commercially that requires certain things legally. Thousands and thousands of years of making food with bare hands doesn’t seem like it just changes overnight to me. Lol

I make my own jerky from meat I get from BJ's. It's sliced thin for steak sandwiches and I take maybe 5 minutes to slice it thin. They are tenderized so easy to eat. I just add my seasoning and let set overnight. I did get a gun to use for using ground beef. I thought it would be easier than cutting the meat in strps but found the clean up and storing the gun was a pain. I also have carpal tunnel and using the gun was too hard and painful. So I m stuck with a gun I don't use. The results are way better than anything you can buy in the store. I make lots at a time. Last me 2 weeks it's so good.

I don’t find gloves necessary. People mixed food by hands for thousands and thousands of years and many chefs around the world still do to this day. We’ve been conditioned to sterilize our environments so much we think washing our hands is somehow not acceptable for food and we need to use gloves, which cost money of course, and somehow that’s better than just doing what we’ve done since the dawn of time.

@@ChrisCookingNashville , it’s not the germs in my case, it’s just so much easier to take off the gloves versus washing my hands so often. I have to use gloves, because my skin starts drying out and flaking off, but you probably have oilier skin than I do!

Looks good. I recently read about people using eye of round cut into strips to make more traditional jerky - it's cheap and very lean. Now, we need the fat - so ground beef may be better overall. But if people want more traditional jerky, eye of round may be worth investigating.

@@ChrisCookingNashville have you made pemmican yet? I saw a vid from Ketogenic Woman on that. My son and I are gonna make some soon, probably hyper-drying lean hamburger - then if I can't find the tallow I made a few months ago (we may have used it) I need to find a butcher who sells suet - so I can render some. I could buy a jar of it, but it is pricey - and so easy to render in a dutch oven (in the oven). I actually was at a big butcher counter yesterday that had all sorts of meat and tripe - but no suet. Weird. Anyway, I was thinking of the pemmican watching this vid, cuz you use super dry meat and hamburger is a method for the meat portion that a lot of people use. There was a group of people about 200 yrs ago in the Great Lakes area iirc - about half French and half Native American. They killed buffalo, turned them into pemmican, and sold it - it was the main way they made money. They went around the lakes and rivers in canoes selling it - and hunting. Anyway, they got about 50 lbs of fat and 350 or so lbs of lean meat from one bison. The meat dried down to about 50 lbs - they pounded into dust - and melted fat and mixed em. They turned the hides into bags to hold the pemmican. I thought that was a cool story - with I could remember the name of this group. If I can find it, I'll tell you.

Since you were using a Mason jar anyway - many brands of household blenders, the pitcher base is threaded identically as a regular mouth Mason jar. So you can screw the blade base on to the Mason jar. Poor man's Neutrabullet.

I’ve made paleo jerkey without buying any special tools. I used my food processor to further chop up ground beef, used a spatula to spread it on parchment and cut it with a knife and put it on a baking sheet and dried it in my toaster oven. I don’t have a large oven. I didn’t know about curing salt. That’s a good addition. For those folks on fixed low incomes, it can be done without investing in guns and special dryers. I made a seasoned batch for me and a plain eat one for my dogs. We were all a happy family.😊

Hey Chris, great stuff, thanks for going through this. Interesting point of note about people who do freak out about Nitrates and Nitrites. Fun fact: Human saliva has bacteria very quickly changes nitrates into nitrites. Any time nitrates are in your system, it is circulated in the blood and deposited back in the saliva to make nitrites. The body NEEDS nitrites to make Nitric Oxide. Your viewers can do their own research on how critical nitric oxide is to the body :) More propaganda about a food product that our body needs, and part of it came from using artificial chemical ingredients which could have caused negative effects to the body over time, but most of the same process was still occurring then vs now with "celery" nitrates.

Yes same ratios of salt and curing salt apply. You might want to cure it a bit longer (24 hours at least) and I’d consider reducing other seasonings a bit as they’ll sit on the outside instead of being mixed in so it could become a bit messy if you have too much of something like jalapeños. But this will definitely work just fine with strips. 👍🏼
