post up the recipe mate, and what the process is, ive been keen to try this for a while but have no idea where to start

yeah here it is

first off you need beef. any beef is fine as long as you can slice it easily. you need to slice it into pieces about 1cm wide and 5-6cm long. its easier to slice if its partially frozen.

you then need to make the marinade. you can use any marinade you like, as simple or as complicated as you like. the marinade is optional if you just want to make plain jerky, you can make a teriyaki, bbq, spicy marinade etc. marinade the beef for atleast 4 hours, mixing regularly. 24 hours would be excellent. the marinade i used consisted of:

1/4 cup of soy sauce
1/4 cup ketjap manis (a nod to my heritage? for those who dont know its a sweet indonesian soy sauce)
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1/4 tomato sauce
1/4 cup tabasco sauce
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup Jack Daniels (i dont drink and i know some people on here dont, but this is an important ingredient. imparts a lot of flavour.)
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 sauteed white onion
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 cloves crushed garlic
a spice mix consisting of dried chilli, cajun seasoning, fresh cracked pepper, thyme, coriander, oregano.

you can mix and match that recipe as much as you like. its probably not the healthiest recipe but then again its a marinade. its very important to taste the marinade and add flavours accordingly. put all these ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil, and then take off to cool.

once the meat has been marinaded, grab the sliced meat and through one end apply a toothpick. do this to all the pieces. then, hang the meat inside your oven from the oven rack, and place a tray underneath to catch the drippings. put your oven on 100 degrees celcuis, leave the door 10-15 cms open at all times, and dry for 3-4 hours until the desired toughness has been reached.

then lay the dried meat on a chopping board overnight, in the morning put in a stay-fresh container, and you have beef jerky

I'm with you jman. Micksjerky is the bomb. Been buying it for a few years now. Extremely good prices, awesome flavour and delivered to your door.
Man, that Bhut Jolokia is the hottest gear I have ever tasted. Check out micksjerky on ebay. I have tried all the others on ebay and they are crap.
I buy direct from Mick. micksjerky@optusnet.com.au He is a great guy to deal with also.

Another vote for Micks Jerky.
I ordered 2kg last time I think, Hot Chilli flavour.
I'm pretty sure it's $60/kg.
Sounds like a time consuming process to make the stuff yourself.

ripitup, what are you paying direct with Mick?
