Making Jerky / Everything BBQ Tips Thread

Any of you guys make Beef Jerky? I have made a lot of wild game jerky over the years, but I have never had an end product that was what I would call fantastic. I have used about every cut of meat you can think of to make it with as well.

I have a buddy who makes the best jerky I have ever had, I'm taking not ever close. After six years, I finally talked him out of the recipe. I'm going to fire up the smoker Saturday and make some. I'm trying to figure out the best bang for the buck cut of meat to make this with. I know I want something with as little fat as possible. What cut do you guys use when you're making jerky? I was thinking top round?

I decided to expand this thread a bit and turn it into a BBQ tips and technique thread as well so people could share their tips, recipes, BBQ techniques or whatever floats your boat in the "Q" department.

OK, the smoker seemed to warm for this, so I decided to go the oven route. I went with beef round, a teriyaki sauce, added some spices nothing too spicy (except for the dash of red pepper, salt and pepper. Trimmed as much fat as I could, put them into the vacuum marinator for 20 minutes, racked them up (then decided to slice most of them long-ways one more time), sprinkled some rub on them and into the 170-degree oven (which is as cool as it'll go. I've left the oven slightly cracked-open. And hour-and-a-half into it, I've rolled them over and straightened them. We'll see..

I've got 3 pounds of flank steak on the Stampede are 180 with oak and hickory. Marinated in worchestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion, garlic, ancho, pepper flanks, pepper, salt, and honey.

Wife won't let me do the box fan method anymore since it makes the whole house smell like beef jerky. I don't see the problem, but she does.

A lot of people do top round. I like flank, but what you really want is really lean. This flank had a bit more fat than I'd prefer.

I had a pleasant surprise using arm roast last time. Tender and very little fat, plus it was pretty easy to cut with my slicer. I usually make about 20-25 lbs (raw) at a time and oldwoman just had a meltdown at the cost of any steak cut. Instead of over $100 worth of meat, there was a good sale at our local store and the cost was about $60. I usually freeze the meat before I cut it in the slicer. Not rock solid, but enough to maintain a it's basic shape while cutting.

We have this puppy, and use it a LOT. Mostly deer, but flank and round make for some awesome "standard fare" jerky too.




If you can time it right, having the meat just below frozen, use a slicer (like this puppy), you'll get great, even slices, and some righteous jerky.



That being said, when it comes to deer, my son likes using this jerky gun and making the softer forms (flat and round).



But it's fun, and good father/kid time...

I'm not a big fan of ground meat jerkies... Just me, I guess.

Sounds close to my recipe just swap brown sugar for the honey and a bit of cayenne for the ancho. I expect finished results pics.

Smells awesome. I know the flavor will change as it cools, but it's delicious right now. Great heat from the ancho and sweetness from the honey. And smoky!

Not just you. Ground meat jerky is kinda gross. Usually has the texture of dog shit.

He has (well, had) a cleft, so he's always been a fan of things more tender. Like my heart and emotions! Not to mention he has braces, so it makes it easier...

I just started making beef jerky using the dehydrator function on my air fryer. Made 3 batches of teriyaki so far. Pretty good. I’ve been using eye of round, having the butcher cut it thin and against the grain.

My boys want something spicier so I’m trying a Dr. Pepper jalapeño recipe this weekend.

If anyone has any spicy jerky recipes they want to share that’d be nice.


For the marinade:
2 cups Dr. Pepper
2 jalapenos sliced
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

This was mine. It's very tasty with a kind of subtle heat. If you want spicy, sub Cayenne for the ancho.

3lb flank, cut with the grain
2c worchestershire sauce
1c soy sauce
1c water
2t garlic powder
2t onion powder
2t ancho powder
2t crushed red pepper
2t coarse black pepper
1.5t salt
1/2c honey

Smoked at 180 for about 4.5 hours.
