I used to be almost addicted to beef jerky, especially the smaller store types where it's made semi-local...until it got to be 29.99 per pound. I love the stuff but will never like it THAT much
i always though beef jerky was always expensive, i never bought it. doesnt matter the brand. maybe if you buy storebrand ones like from wf. but rarer ones likey turkey, salmon, venison, wagyu.
Beef Jerky is so good man. And its actually stupidly easy to make at home.. The problem is the beef, more specifically the cost and amount of the beef.
It takes like 3+ pounds of beef to make one pound of jerky, Which is why it was always pricy, but with beef prices what they are now.. i'm surprised anyone can afford to make jerky, much less buy it.
Can you just buy dehydrated beef so you're not paying for all that water weight?
Yes, thats called jerky.
Genius! Buy dehydrated beef, dunk it in some water to hydrate it back into normal beef, then make it into beef jerky! Big beef hates this one simple trick!
Somewhere along the chain, someone has to buy it and then dehydrated it. You can't grow a dehydrated cow. Also, dehydrated beef is jerky...
Why not make it?
Beef is not cheap.
I think the kind you use for jerky kind of is though, relatively speaking. Way cheaper than the finished product at least.
Yeah, not so much. No cut of beef is really cheap now. Makin' jerky is now mostly for hunted meats.
