Hey Eric, I'm THIS CLOSE to making the beef jerky. One question-approximately what temp for the oven?

“I can’t believe no one made venison jerky when I was growing up in PA.”

Wow. PA–Venison Jerkey. Welcome to the Native American way of life. We’ve lost SO much.

Made your umami beef jerky. My husband is a chemist and is betting me that Braggs amino acids IS MSG. After all my hippy days of using the stuff I hate to believe that. What do you say?

I have to admit that I wasn’t blown away with the outcome. I think it was lacking in the sweetness but then again, we couldn’t find Palm syrup so we took coconut juice and mixed with a simple syrup and reduced it down.

I will be posting to my blog about the adventure and I will link back here for the recipe (hope that is ok with you).

Thanks the recipe. It was fun to try.

Thanks Eric….wouldn’t leave out the heat with the papaya, just have to choose from the 5-6 kinds growing in the garden(maybe pass on the habanero for this one though!) Looking forward to your papaya post….best I have had so far was in a little Thai place on my favorite island of Kauai……mmmmmm

Thank you Katherine. Despite the many charms of Alton, I somehow doubt I will be headed to Home Depot anytime soon for heat vent filters to make jerky. The oven method is more than ok, despite the heat. It’s a different kind of jerky, I think. I really like the results. And the more gadgets/accoutrements I can live without, the better!

Emiko, I hope Hai (sp?) likes it!

And Mr. Jerky — nice website! I can’t believe no one made venison jerky when I was growing up in PA.

Marianne — funny you should ask! I’ve been playing with green papaya a lot this summer. An entry on that soon! I think your salad sounds brilliant. Papaya likes a little heat though — maybe throw some chiles in there.

Whoa! I’m drooling right now. My husband has been looking for a great beef jerky recipe for a long time. The fact that it is Vietnamese, he will be thrilled to try it out!

Re: dehydrator
I totally agree with you. It takes up so much space for so little use…

This looks awesome. When I get some good grass-fed beef, I’m going to go to town.
Thanks so much!
