    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?

        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…
