Can we get back to the rent issue?
DeleteAingerous
The environmental repercussions of industrial beef production due to government subsidies are too damn high
MPinky
Jerky is also relatively expensive and is time consuming to make. Time = Money. Time consuming = Lots of Money.
capsaicinheat
If youve ever had it in south africa youd know jerky in the states is hard and dry af.
brianwenner
you'd think beef was an endangered species...
StrikerHeX
bugger beef jerky, get yourself some biltong
HandsomeJack19
I used to think that. Until I saw it being made. There is a TON of meat in every bag. That stuff shrinks like a mfer as it jerkifies.
SomeoneSomewhereOrSomething
I've tried a lot of different types of jerky and different brands. Best tasting is Great Value Beef Jerky Peppered. No joke.
BulletproofMannequin
I know! But that's also helping me control my blood pressure so that's good I guess.
vindik8or
With it's high sodium and L-carnatine concentrations? You trying to control upwards?
Pokegeologist
It's getting damn near $5-8 for a 5 oz. bag. It's no longer an on the go snack when I can make myself a meal for less.
MightyIink
$10 for a couple of sticks of meat gum, ya that's pretty bad.
abitskeptical
Meat gum needs to be seen, +1
OctopusOccult
A lot of weight in meet is water, so when make it into jerkey you lose ~75% of it. So 4oz package = 1 lbs of steak.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
Biltong > Jerky. Learn how to make it amd you're set
AllMyOpinionSuck
Have you ever made your own jerky? it's not much cheaper...
Andied
Nope. May the price ever rise
thatfucknguy
I won't lie, jerky company's profit margins are pretty astronomical. Source- I work for a major one.
MadamMurder
I am blessed with a mom who makes great beef jerky at home. From trip tip.

alberteinsteinwasagreatmagician
I get it on amazon monthly for $13 per lb, which isn't so bad considering most restraunts sell steak that price half the size.
Misfire5150
Only 1lb?! Do they have a weekly delivery option?
alberteinsteinwasagreatmagician
ikr. I run out in usually 1 or 2 days. I think you can get multiple per month though but no weekly option that I saw.
abitskeptical
o: you get monthly delivery jerky?!
alberteinsteinwasagreatmagician
Umm yea. There's only 2 things I auto pay monthly: My jerkey and the website that pays for my jerkey.
CaptainSilver42
Got the diabetes so jerky is just about the only junk food I can fuck with. I feels ya brah
heyletsbefriends
your definition of junk food is questionable.
BrazilianThunderPanda
Weird, my dietician has me basically eating nothing but low sodium beef jerky and milk. I’ve lost like 40 lbs in 2 months.

BrazilianThunderPanda
I promise it’s not the only things I eat. I have a pallet of a picky toddler so beef jerky and milk tend to be my easiest go tos.
geiokami
It’s because a pound of beef (not cheap) turns into 1/4 pound of jerky
mypetspider
I remember as a kid it was like $3 for a pack and it had so much but now I pay $7 for 5 pieces of dog food leather.
HanjinHanamura
The in-house brand of jerky we have where I work is only $3 a bag. Sooooo gooood.

What exactly is a beef "jerky"? We have beef meat *starting* at 400rs (~USD6) a kg here. How's that compare to the price there?
abitskeptical
Lean, seasoned, dried, cured beef cut into thin strips about 12cm long. What cut of the beef? Consult the Jerkyholic! Link>
abitskeptical
https://www.jerkyholic.com/best-cuts-of-beef-for-jerky/
vindik8or
It's lean beef without all the water and lots of seasoning. So take a kg of wet beef, reduce its mass by 70% and charge the same price.
Snaggley
The bag sizes keep getting smaller and the price keeps increasing. Its so good but I won’t spend $7 for a 2.85 oz bag.
dafawkudoin
Actually the bags are getting huge! 2.0 oz of jerky in a gallon size bag (56g in a 3.78 litre bag for those on the sensible system)
Jamesonlikethewhiskey
I make it myself. I can do a DIY post if you want. It's never cost efficient but it tastes much better than your gas station alternative.
malachitedragon
I'd love to do it myself but I don't have the space. (also two dogs would eat the meat before it was done)

OhKittyWhoaKitty
I love making jerky! I've used beef, pork, turkey and fish. You can do it for cheap if you shop bulk and sales!
PlayingNiceForOnce
Can I just send you money for beef jerky?
ImgursLibertarian
I bought a cow and raised it and butchered it myself. 10% steak, 40% grinds, and 10% jerky. Cost ~$1.20/lb.
StayFrost
Could you tag me if you do, please?

I make beef jerky in my oven and it costs me close to half as much as buying it in store. Additionally, you get to experiment with (1/2)

(2/2) flavors and also leave out ingredients like preservatives and reduce sodium if you want a healthier jerky. Doesn't last as long though

scorpinock2
You can definitely make it cost efficient if you copy similar recipes from those pre made spice packs, also use flank steak from costco(1/2)
scorpinock2
If you make it in like 4 pound increments it becomes quite cost efficient and a fraction of the cost of the store. We could swap recipies
scorpinock2
if you wanted or I could do a DIY as well

Yea, I've had homemade and its amazing
CameronKeith5
I just picked up a dehydrator and have made a couple batches. So much better than store bought
MarcusSkogsen
Nice man!
kholli
And if you can get it, venison makes great jerky b/c of the low fat content.
MrSebu
Do it!
Guill
Hell yes!
CameronKeith5
Also cut out meat cost tell friends you’ll make em jerky if they supply meat and you keep 50% of what you make!!

I am also interested.

MYNAMEISBOILER
Making it myself aswell. It's not cheap but decent priced for a healthy snack. I mean a good pack of chips costs the same as my jerky.
MYNAMEISBOILER
I mean in cost and efficiency way. It's more chips but you need to chew the jerky way longer so it's kinda the same.
LlamaLingo
It's not healthy. Red meat has above 300 calories/100 gram in its normal state aswell as being a contributor to cancer. Take out the water
LlamaLingo
2 people downvote the truth lol? Meatheads
MYNAMEISBOILER
I looked it up and it's 130 calories/100g in eye of round beef. + Those calories are mostly protein so no bad calories.
LlamaLingo
Water contains 0 calories so how can meat decrease in calorie count when the water is removed? Makes 0 sense
LlamaLingo
and the calorie count probably increases to about 450-500 per 100g I guess
[deleted]

LlamaLingo
I dont think so but let me check it up. Also red meat is a cancerogen

I cant make my own, its all an all day project wear i eat every strip as it comes out. And i end constipated with no jerkey left.

If you want chewy jerky, cut with the grain, not against it.

TyrannosaurusMex
SexDrugsBirdsandRocknRoll
Is it possible to do it without any equipment, in an apartment?
Temenos
Warm air oven 75c, freeze your meat, flank is easiest and cheapest, until easy to cut, slice very thin, to your cut preference, marinade
Temenos
For 8-12 hours or more it's a good idea to use more salt then what you assume is good, put on a rack and then bake for 7-10 hours depending
Temenos
On thickness of your cut
TyrannosaurusMex
Yep! You got a windowsill? You not mind all your possessions smelling like a back ally butcher shop with the city’s only “J” rating? Cheers!
Jamesonlikethewhiskey
A dehydrator is like $30. Thats all you really need.
nanman
Yes look for the episode of Good Eats about making beef jerky.
manolyk23
If your oven can do 200 you can make decent jerky. Ideally you’d want a lower temp but 200 will do and save you a lot.
SexDrugsBirdsandRocknRoll
Besides like, normal kitchen shit
AxelYamanaka
Short answer is yes. But it'll take up some space for a while. Since you want to dry, use cold, not hot. A big fan will work fine.
