How To Make Great Beef Jerky From A Cheap Cut Of Beef

Jerky is the great equalizer when it comes to beef. You can take the least expensive cut of beef you can find and turn it into amazing Beef Jerky. And in this video, that’s exactly what I do, with the added simplicity of using only the oven.

Smoky Bourbon Marinade Ingredients

1 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
¼ cup Bourbon
2 TBSP Brown Sugar
1 tsp Ground Black Pepper
½ tsp Kosher Salt
½ tsp Hickory Smoked Salt

You can’t beat homemade jerky. That marinade sounds great. I’ll have to give it a try. Great video as always 👍

I have 20lbs of Deer in the freezer. Going to be making a ton of Deer Jerky this weekend 🦌 and some hot Italian Deer sausage can't wait

Your first video on jerky in the oven is my go to on YouTube!! Im so glad you made this new video changing things up, just fantastic!!

I marinate mine in apple cider vinegar and salt - that's it. Thick slices of chuck roast (with all the fat) is what I like best.

Ry, have to say, now retired and in my early years was a RAF photographer and for the second half of my life was a teacher, trainer and presenter, so I feel I can comment on the following. I truly wish the many YouTubers on here were at your very high standard because normally being a very critical person, I could not fault this video. Your camera shots are spot on, very good lighting, ideal camera positioning and you 'synch' very well actual 'instructional' points with the film action. Your delivery is of a very high standard, you keep to the point, very clear and precise instructions, a nice melodious voice where every word is clearly understood, you also (makes me feel you have taught or trained before) blend in very well action shots to repeat and reinforce important words and actions. Unlike a lot of YouTube cooks who go for obscure and expensive ingredients that are hard to find or most people can't afford, your idea to take a cheap piece of beef and improve it, I wish more YouTubers would do. Had a quick look what else you do and will certainly try some of them, currently I six large cuts of good beef and I will certainly have a go at this recipe.

Why I love beef jerky is that it is a very tasty and portable snack. It's perfect to take with you. The flavour possibilities are endless. An oven at a very low setting is a great dehydration tool. A friend of mine said that he and a friend of his were at a campsite in Alberta, and he had some jerky made by a campfire. He said it was good. Also, I've had butchers at my local grocery store cut up, or grind cuts of beef for me, free of charge. Your beef jerky looks great. Cheers, Ry! ✌️

glad i found ya, i get a allowance and i might have to get my dad to get the burban (think that’s alcohol) but my money is gonna be well spent

[passerby]

Thank you. I used Smoked Paprika in place of smoked Hickory Salt (not available) and it turned out excellent and smokey flavoured.

[ayzen]

I've experienced with smoked salts, and I've found I prefer it over a liquid smoke. It gives better flavor and less chance of over doing it. I love it!

[dantousignant]

I generally use rump roast snd a big fan of allegro marinades.. Been making several jerkies for over 25 years. Luv homemade jerkey. Smoked with Cherry wood then dehydrated is one of my new favorites

[btf]

Worcestershire sauce in that marinade is great as well

[fly]

You had me at hello! I used cheap sirloin I vacuum sealed/froze nearly a year ago to make jerky a week ago from your original vid. Excellent. A great baseline, which is what I wanted to experiment from. When I see cheaper cuts of beef on sale, this is what I'm doing. Thanks!

[vernonthompson]

Hmmm! Re: the meat, I never used anything but "chuck" and I concur. Best meat ever.
I added 2-3 drops of 'liquid smoke' instead of the smoke salt, and I don't think I used Bourbon. I've searched for my marinade recipe; can't find it, but I am gonna use your marinade.
Bon appetite!!!
Vernon.

[Mike-hsfq]

That looks awesome. Thank you for the recipe.

[stevenstanley]

Hey brother! Just gotta say....I'm venturing into the jerky world...always eat it, never made it...
And this video was a very informative video...
It makes me feelnalot easier of the "cost" of making jerky...

Love this video.
Thank you!

[kbcki]

I use a dehydrator and use liquid smoke also a little sodium nitrite to preserve it so you can keep it out in room temperature and it won’t spoil

[SmugBagel]

You’re very avuncular :) It’s very calming. I’m making jerky for the first time today, wish me luck!

[TheDawgfathasBBQ]

Thanks for sharing brother. I've been looking to do jerky for a while now. 👊👊👊

[nicholascoffman]

Stater bros meat underrated. I wish everyone could try it

[calypsoniner]
