Commerical Jerky vs Homade ($$$)

[FLBentRider]

My 9lbs of eye round was $33.84.


Conservatively speaking this will yield 3.75 lbs of jerky nuggets @$US9.03/lb

And mine is better than links...

I did not could the price of the cure or the seasonings, they are marginal costs at best.

The cost is way less if you make your own.  I have not found a commercial jerky that was anywhere near as tasty as what I make.

I agree...I love the way my pastrami cured jerky tastes...I have total control over every ingredient and the quality is top shelf. You just need a good dehydrator and you are all set.

Got a recipe for the pastrami jerky?  Place called the Smokehouse in St. Louis sells their jerky for $42.00/pound

PM sent.

Final yield from 9lbs of eye round is 4lbs of jerky nuggets.

With KyNola's pricing, that is $160.00 worth of jerky. Not bad for a $33 investment.
