Selecting Meat for Jerky Jerky can be made from lean beef, chicken or turkey breast,
and wild game. Quality meat means quality jerky but you don't have to pay
a high price. Watch the sales at your local supermarket and take advantage
of them. One local store here regularly runs a buy one get one free promotion
on rump roast or flank steak. That's half price and there is no reason
not to freeze the meat for making jerky at a later date. By the way, if
your freezer is like ours, you'll probably find a piece of beef or chicken
in there that's lost it's eye appeal but is still fine to eat. It will
make great jerky! Lean ground beef like ground round will make good jerky
and can be a lot of fun for kids with cookie cutters too!
Beef flank steak is your best buy. There is no waste at
all because flank steak is all lean, pure red meat with consistent straight
grain making it easy to prepare. Chicken and turkey breast meat are also
perfect for making even lower fat, healthier jerky snacks. Pork should
never be used for jerky. The pork version of jerky is bacon which requires
a different blend of cure and spices as well as completely different processing.
Wild game like deer and rabbit are well suited to jerky
making if the meat has been promptly and properly processed. The curing
process used to make jerky will greatly reduce the gamy flavor of wild
meats. Prepare deer and rabbit as described for beef. Game birds should
be treated like chicken.
