Make Your Own Beef Jerky Easily and Save!

Never made beef jerky before? You can do this easily at home with a dehydrator and some beef!

The link refers to a very low price kit (I assume because it looks a bit flimsy but it has lasted me 8+ years), and I highly recommend getting this cheap one first to see if making jerky is for you. I would suggest to avoid the high priced ones because they all do the SAME thing: dry stuff.

I've had the dryer since 2006 and I use it about 3-4 times a year and it still works. I got the jerky gun in 2009 and then 2 extra trays in 2012. .

Just got a dehydrator for my birthday and this was the first video I watched on how to make jerky. Best video i've seen to date

[anitaronquillo]

Native Americans & Mexicans have been making this for centuries. It's called carne seca. All natural, no dehydrator needed. Yours looks really good too.

This is awesome. I ordered the mega expansion pack that comes with 25 extra trays, so i had to dehydrate my beefy slop outside.

[abbyglass]

;Yours was not the first video I watched on the dehydrator but was the first using the jerky gun. I thought you were pretty funny so I had to show your video to my wife. keep up the good work, my first batch of jerky has just started.

Well...I had no idea what the heck a jerky gun was, so I decided to check out videos. I was expecting to find some boring video, but nope! I had no idea a jerky gun video could be so entertaining. Funny and thanks for making me laugh!

Thanks for the video, entertaining and sealed the deal on my purchase. Just bought the nest set up.

I just bought that jerky gun. This video made it worth it. NOMNOMNOMNOM

[kotaw]

This video made me giggle while also being resourceful :D i am so happy it was the first to pop up in my search feed

The manual recommends baking in an oven for 1 hr at 160 degrees after drying "to prevent salmonella"... Is that a step you also recommend? Seems like other people skip it.

Great video! I already own a similar dehydrator and jerky gun and my main question is how do you properly clean the gun? (FYI I got the dehydrator and gun as a late Christmas gift a few days ago and have thus far held off on using the gun because I'm afraid I won't properly be able to clean it) 

[elmermt]

where did you get that ground up machine?

[longbra]

I like the comedy here. We've never grounded up meat for beaf jerky. We slice it into thin strips and marinate in a concocted marinade overnight. My wife is Laotian, so our marinades typically consists of combinations of soy sauce, garlic, lemon grass, oyster sauce, onion, ginger, Thai pepper, salt, pepper, etc. We've also never used jerky cure...

[josefinabetton]

Does the meat stick in the dehydrator? Is it difficult to clean?

You`re pretty funny without being DONE!!!
