People are stealing beef jerky!

Jerky.com understands that beef jerky is the greatest snack food around, but some people always seem to know how to take their addiction to the next level.

A recently published article by the Palm Beach Post takes notice of a 23 year old man (that will remain nameless, because that’s embarrassing) who was caught shop-lifting $25 worth of beef jerky and meat snacks from a local convenient store.

He had placed an estimated 2 pounds of jerky products down his pants before punching a man an innocent bystander in an altercation. He didn’t get away however, because his get-a-way vehicle was a red bicycle, authorities said.

This occurrence obviously caught the gas station clerk and local police authorities off-guard as well as provided them with a funny story that will last a lifetime.

This got me to thinking.

If I was absolutely desperate for some beef jerky, what kind would I steal??

Bacon Jerky is now available!

Hello Jerky lovers,

Jerky.com has some news that will make your day even better…bacon jerky and ham jerky are now available!

No, bacon jerky is not a myth and yes, it does taste as good as it sounds.

I have come across numerous chat forums and blogs of people from around the country asking how to make bacon jerky or if it’s even possible. The good folks over at Bacon Freak have teamed up with Jerky.com and now the ultimate snack food is here in 5 unique flavors (Summer Tomato, Cajun, Peppered, Honey BBQ, and Jalapeno).

Made from 100% pork and cut into really thick strips of meaty bacon, each strip is marinated and smoked as usual, very much like beef jerky is made.

This gourmet product is receiving rave reviews from both customers and industry insiders. Having only been introduced just a short time ago, this seems to be the perfect stocking stuffer for any guy during this holiday season.

Convenient resealable packaging and Free Shipping makes this a great buy.

Someone recently asked me if this product was a must try and I said “duh”!

Cranberry Thanksgiving Turkey Jerky

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of turkey (or any meat type)
  • fresh cranberries
  • brown sugar or regular sugar
  • an orange
  • water
  • salt & pepper (optional)

Directions:

  1. Before you touch your ingredients, go ahead and cut your meat into slices about 1/4″ thicks.
  2. Next, you can either chop up your cranberries in a blender or food processor to make more juice or line the bottom of a cake pan with the cranberries and smash them with a fork adding just a little water.
  3. After you have done that, lay your strips on top of the cranberry juice and salt and pepper both sides, if you like, you do not have to season at all if you’d like to maintain more of the sweet taste.
  4. Go ahead and sprinkle on your sugar but not too much if you don’t have much of a sweet tooth and squeeze that orange to zest your meat strips with a light orange flavor. Turn strips over if you’d like to zest both sides.
  5. Let marinate in the fridge for as long as you’d like, flipping the meat strips ever so often to soak in that juicy cranberry flavor!
  6. Once you have let it sit to your preference, set your oven on the lowest temperature and transfer that cake pan from the fridge to the oven, leaving the door propped open for ventilation. Dehydration takes anywhere from 3-9 hours in an oven but check periodically. Take out if you like it more chewy or leave in longer if you like it more crispy! Hope you enjoy this great Thanksgiving appetizer!

If this is too hot for you, cut out the chili powder and cayenne pepper, it’s all up to you. Also, if you’re not a spicy type of person, check out Jimmie’s other meat rubs!

After you have seasoned your meat just right, go ahead and slice it into strips about 1/4″ thick and lay out on the dehydrator’s racks, without touching, on the lowest temperature for about 12-24 hours, time preference is up to you. If you rather do the oven, line a cookie sheet with foil and place your meat strips on that, without touching, on the oven’s lowest temperature, as well, for about 6-12 hours, leaving the door propped open for ventilation. Remember, your jerky should bend but not snap or be too chewy but your drying time is up to you, just have fun with it! Enjoy!
 

Moroccan Twist Beef Jerky Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds beef – flank or steak (or any meat type)
  • Moroccan Twist Rub
  • 2 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • salt
  • pepper

Directions:

Once you sprinkle on and rub in those ingredients, go for your Moroccan Twist Rub and coat the meat with a medium to thick layer til you’re sure you will be able to taste that amazing flavor!
  2. Now that your meat is good and seasoned, go ahead and cut it into about 1/4″ thick strips. Freezing for 30 minutes prior to slicing may make this task easier.
  3. Line a cookie sheet with foil and place your strips, without touching, onto the pan and into the oven on the lowest temp. with the door propped open for about 4-8 hours. If you want to use a dehydrator, layer the racks with your strips, also without touching, on the lowest temp. for about 12-20 hours. Be sure and check up on your jerky periodically. Length of time varies so, dry to your preference. Enjoy!
 

BBQ 3000 Beef Jerky Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tb. brown sugar
  • 2 Tb. Worcestershire
  • 2/3 c. ketchup
  • onion
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic
  • BBQ 3000 Seasoning
  • 1 lb. beef (or any meat type)

Directions:

  1. If you’d like, freeze your meat for half an hour prior to cutting to make this task a lil easier. Slice your meat into strips about 1/4″ thick and slice up your garlic and onion as well.
  2. Go ahead and sprinkle on your salt, pepper, and BBQ 3000, heavy on the BBQ seasoning! Now, add as much Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar as you’d like. However, keep in mind that we are going for a BBQ flavor so, the BBQ Seasoning will be used more than any other ingredient and the others are just there to add a little bit of sweetness.
  3. Now decide which cooking method you want to use. Which ever one you choose, set it on the lowest temp. and lay out your meat strips without touching or overlapping one another. If you’re using the oven, keep the door propped open for ventilation and if you’re using a smoker, you might want to use non-seasoned chips to lock in that BBQ taste you’ll get with the BBQ 3000. Which ever method you decide to use, the length of time you dry your meat out is up to you so check it periodically. Typically jerky is dried out anywhere from 6-20 hours. Enjoy!
 

Insanely Hot Beef Jerky

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds of beef (or any meat type)
  • Insanity sauce
  • Meat Tenderizer
  • Table salt (or curing salt)
  • Pepper

Directions:

Either way, poke some holes into your meat and pour on the Insanity Sauce to get that spicy flavor all the way into the middle of your meat! Also sprinkle on your meat tenderizer, salt and pepper. You wont need any other hot/spicy ingredients because the Insanity Sauce will definitely take care of that!
  2. If you’re going with the dehydrator method, go ahead and set it on it’s lowest temp. and set out your strips on the racks, without touching. The length of time is up to you but typically it’s anywhere between 12-20 hours.
  3. Oven Method – set your oven on its lowest temp. as well and cover a cookie sheet with foil and lay out your strips, without touching and pop into the oven! Remember, leave the oven door propped open for proper ventilation and dry out for about 6-10 hours but check periodically.
  4. Smoker – have your chips picked out ahead of time, the flavor is up to you, and lay out your strips, without touching, on the racks with the temp. set to the lowest possible. Check occasionally anywhere after the first couple of hours. Should be done after around 5-8. Enjoy!
 

Bacon Flavored Jerky Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds beef (or any meat type)
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • Bacon Salt (Original, Hickory or Peppered)
  • curing salt

Directions:

  1. Slice your meat into strips about 1/4″ thicks. (freezing for 30 mins. prior may help with this)
  2. Cure your meat over night.
  3. Not a lot of ingredients are included in this recipe so you do not cover up your bacon flavor! Go ahead and pepper your meat and dash on as much of the Bacon Salt as you’d like. (The Bacon Salt comes in 3 flavors to choose from; Hickory, Peppered or Original)
  4. If you chose the Hickory flavored Bacon Salt you might want to dehydrate your meat in the oven or dehydrator instead of a smoker so you do not mix flavors. If you chose to do so, go ahead and set the temperature to the lowest temp. on both machines, but leave the oven door propped open for ventilation. Lay out your meat on the racks, without touching. (You might want to foil line a cookie sheet if using the oven so the meat doesn’t stick or make a mess) If you chose to use a smoker or grill go ahead and slap those puppies right on the racks, without touching, and dry out on the lowest temp., as well, checking ever so often. The length of time for which ever method you chose is up to you and how dry or chew you like your jerky! Add as much Bacon Salt as you like. It’s great stuff! Enjoy!
