Favorite Beef Jerky?

Duke's for convenience store/grocery store stuff.

I don't think they make it anymore but I like the Jack Links Small batch. Number 15 or number 11.


Anyone have a good recipe for homemade jerky marinade?

Every time I like something they discontinue it. Good thing I am a 'preparedness enthusiast', I buy stuff like Knorr Leek Soup mix and Kraft Box Spaghetti, and Kraft Bacon Tomato Catalina by the case.... now they are all nowhere to be found!

I was too young when they discontinued Kraft Savory Chicken Noodles and Sauce... I miss it so.

Well they told me they don't like you either, and you're a big poopie head. They also said you collect Hi-points....and you like to!!!

I really wanted to support the locals...

Best I ever had was at the New Braunfel's Smokehouse. Been chasing that dragon for a long time. Fatman’s Gourmet Beef Jerky isn't bad but I'm sure there is better.

No Man’s Land out of Oklahoma. It’s at all of the Kwik Shops here in KS (Loaf & Jug in CO), but the only place I’ve seen it in CO is in Burlington. It’s a dry jerky and is definitely not like traditional gas station “tender” jerky.

I like the Old Trapper Hot and Spicy but my all time favorite was Monty Nuss. When they stopped selling jerky, I stopped going to gun shows.

My favorite jerky is whatever's in my hand at the moment. But I do prefer it soft and a little moist, easy to chew - vs. the stuff that's like a seasoned piece of a belt.

Soy sauce, Worcestershire, red pepper. Vary proportions according to taste. Soak 24 hours, drain, dry in food dehydrator. When you arrive at the balance you like it will be hard to buy store bought jerky.

That's almost exactly what we do.. maybe a little bit of teriyaki and then finish with some McCormick cajun or this red pepper - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Terana-Mi...75-oz/51762322. It is by far the hottest red pepper I've ever had (not even close to the standard ones), they used to carry it in the Castle Rock store but now I have to order it.

24 hours is way better but even 30 - 60 minutes works out well. We use our electric smoker following this timing and it has always been awesome. https://www.jerkyholic.com/make-beef-jerky-smoker/.

And Walmart sells pre-sliced (can't remember if it's top or bottom round) that is almost perfectly cut into jerky sized pieces. I think they call it stir-fry beef. Most of the time no trimming is even required and it can be separated straight into the marinade.

Thanks! I got a sliced round roast that I'm going to try this on.
