I have a pic in the "post up what u r eating " thread from about 2 weeks ago when I made some beef jerky.
I have a sunbeam dehydrater which does the job.
While i havent actually made it myself i have been researching and thinking about doing some jerky for a while as well.
The best cuts of meat to use for jerky are the ones with the lowest fat content, so stuff like blade steak and even bolar beef is apparently good.
but will be following this thread to give it a crack.
I have also heard you can do it in an oven, you have to use the lowest temparature and then "choc" the door open slightly so the moist air can escape. I am thinking about doing this to try first before investing in a dehydrator.
Interesting thread Kranky, keep us posted.

Is there anything you haven't done?

Thee is nothing to it.
Have a Sunbeam dehydrator, have had it for about 3 years and has a fair bit of use and still going strong.
Buy bulk beef, slice it up, season with what ever you like, dehydrate to a level you like, I prefer it to be very dry some like it more moist.
Recepies can be as simple as:
- salt and pepper.
- garlic salt
I love :
-Salt, pepper, ground coriander
-Paprica, salt, pepper, chilli powder
-Soy sauce (marinate for a few hours)
Just add what you like, they all taste great.
Minute steaks are great for making jerky, and lean beef that's cheap really.
Sometimes I buy Black Angus beef in bulk at about $8-10 per kilo, will make steaks, stir fries and a heap of jerky……love the stuff.
Actually might have to make a batch before xmas, might buy some meat this arvo
Hey mate, I bought a Commercial Dehydrator from Ebay, 12 tray one with the blue trays. Does about 4kg of meat at once, which doesn't go far with the whole family into it. You can dehydrate anything with it, fruit, etc.
Topside meat is the best meat to use for jerky, sometimes you can get the butcher to cut it into slabs for you, 5mm is best, otherwise you have to semi freeze it and cut it yourself.
I use this recipe and it is the bomb
1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak
2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
2/3 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
You can buy all your marinades/liquid smokes from Misty Gully Smokehouse - Everything you need to smoke your own food
No only used it on beef, but it can dehydrate anything, bananas, mango, tomatoes, etc etc
It's a handy thing.
