BEC Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I have been sampling the various offerings of jerky vendors on eBay lately and have found one that is really special as far as my taste for jerky is concerned. If you are a jerky fan, try the Cracked Pepper/Garlic http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320147797014 NOTE: No affiliation with the seller. Just a fan of the product.

BigStewMan Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 jerky is worthy of being in contention for the title of "ultimate food." may not beat out a burrito; but, it's worth considering. probably what the cowboys ate back in the day.

oscarsear Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Ordered mine...can't wait. Beef jerky is good for dieting. The long chew satisfies the jaw and the meat swells in the belly making it feel full. Kinda high in sodium but I'll accept that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Went to high school in Seattle, with one of the Obertos. Jerky is popular with that crowd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatTrick66 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 My dad makes a mean deer jerky. I also recently had the pleasure of trying Bucky's on a trip to Austin from Houston. Yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 For a second there, I thought you might be talking about a rock musician. Like Beef Jerky was Meatloaf's son, or something.

oldtimer Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Like the bit on the original Man Show: "if only everything were made out of beef jerky." Jerky is very lean Joe, but if you have to go to extremes to get your level down, you just have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picky Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 In the fall I usually like to make several batches in my Little Chief electric smoker. I normally use only sirloin steak and remove all traces of fat or gristle. I slice the steak into thick strips. Five pounds of steak renders about 2 to 2-1/2 pounds of finished product. This style of thick, chewy jerky was actually referred to back in the day by the cowboys as "Squaw Candy". If me or any of my fellow hunting buddies has any luck, then I also like to made a few batches using venison instaed of beef. It's all good! Generally, I can make my marinade for the jerky anywhere from "sweet and spicy" to "sweet and holy crap"! I don't make the jerky year-round because the outside temperature drastically effects the amount of time the meat must remain in the smoker. 12 to 16 hours is usually the norm and I usually will do 3 different loads of wood during the time each batch is in the smoker. First I'll hit it with hickory, then mesquite, and then hickory again. There are about 5 different woods that I use depending on availablility and what sort of meat I am processing. It always tastes better than storebought and I NEVER add any salt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel's wife Posted August 17, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2007 Okay, okay....this shouldn't surprise some of you and I thought twice about even admitting this...dtel and I tasted nutria jerky once. To my surprise it was very good [] I wouldn't have tasted it except I didn't know what kind of jerky it was! After tasting it I was told..."its nutria jerky"... I didn't know nutria were vegetarians! That eased than anxiety I was feeling....a little bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 That's hilarious Christy! As the saying goes, a cajun will eat anything. Nutria don't belong in the southern US anyway so I say eat nutria jerky and save the planet! Plus you can wear the fur on cold nights....

Moderators dtel's wife Posted August 17, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2007 Oldtimer, I didn't have anything to do with trapping the nutria. My cousin managed to sneak the jerky in without me knowing what it was. Of course....I would never have eaten nutria jerky....just the thought of it was revolting....once I realized what it was! I didn't realize people down here eat raccoons(sp)....now that's disgusting...cuz I know for a fact raccoons eat garbage.....I've got a story about that you guys wouldn't believe. I'll give you a hint raccoons are smarter than dtel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
