Hey all



Does anyone here make their own jerky? I thought I'd try my hand at it today, but I've never done it before so I'd like to see where others have gone with their boot leather.



I'm using kangaroo steaks as a base, they are currently halfway through a 24 hr marinade of soy sauce, vinegar, tabasco, worcestershire sauce and beer. After that is done I'm going to hang them in the oven for roughly 6 hours at around 110f, or until they are dry. This is just a test run with about one pound of meat, but if it successful, I'll start making some batches.



Can you marinade other meats? I know beef is the go-to meat, but what about stuff like chicken or pork? Thanks for reading, hopefully we can get some recipe sharing here.

 

I've seen stuff like turkey and buffalo as well. I suppose you could do ostrich and meats alike as well...

 

I'll have to dig up the jerk seasoning recipe we use for venison and send it off-forum...

 

Here's a quick update. I've had the roo marinading for 24 hours, and now it is drying out in the oven with the door open.







I made up a seasoning of onion flakes, garlic, pepper and salt, and seasoned half now. The other half I will season in a few hours and compare the results.



*EDIT* I always forget to insert the pics. Whoops.

 

Nice
