It's been a long time since Jerky freaks has posted a podcast episode. Today we are sending an update as to what has been going on, what we have been up to and what we are doing in the near future. Jerky Freaks is going through a major change and is intending to share it with you.  Jeremy explains that Jerky Freaks is transitioning into more of a business topics podcast as opposed to a podcast about how to make beef jerky. Due to recent fan input, this seems to be the appropriate direction to go. We will still post beef jerky recipes here on the site. We are a beef jerky authority, for gods sake. So anything and everything beef jerky, that's what we will discuss. That is why Jeremy is taking the Jerky Freaks podcast in a bit of a different direction as he explains in the podcast. Making jerky is great. Making money with jerky is even better! As a fan of jerky, you will love this update and we hope to continue to please you with upcoming episodes.

I do believe I ate enough to feed a small village in africa. With all the food and overstuffed bellies, I couldn't bare talk about jerky recipes here today. That is why I chose to give 5 excellent tips about making beef jerky. I am getting excited because we are getting close to double digits here with the Jerky Freaks episodes and things are slowly rising. Thank you so much for listening and sharing this program. It means so much to me. 5 Epic Tips To Make Better Jerky Tip #1: Know your meat In order to make the best jerky you can, you must know your meat. Tip #2: Cut the fat Be sure to remove all fat, tendon, gristle and membraneous tissue from the meat prior to dehydration, as these unsavory bits can turn rancid quite quickly. Tip #3: Don’t feel constrained by traditional marinades Everyone who makes their own jerky has their own marinade standards. Tip #4: Keep your jerky bacteria-free According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, jerky has been linked to illnesses caused by Salmonella and E. Coli. Tip #5: Build a smoker There are plenty of commercial smokers on the market ==>> Click Here To Checkout Smokers Check out detailed instructions for how to assemble a smoker using sheet steel and square tubing. Bonus Tip Jerky doesn’t last forever While jerky sold in stores can last up to one year if it remains in its original package, homemade jerky typically keeps for no longer than two months.

Recently I was digging through an archive of old jerky recipes when I stumbled upon this gem. This is an easy beef jerky recipe as far as simplicity and ingredients.  I love pepper and peppered type recipes and I also love garlic, who doesn't love garlic anyways. In this episode of the Jerky Freaks show I combine Pepper and Garlic to make one heck of an easy beef jerky recipe. Garlic Pepper Jerky Recipe Ingredients: 2 lbs of beef 1 tsp minced garlic 1/2 cup of soy sauce 1/4 cup worchestershire sauce 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 tsp garlic powder Putting It All Together Trim the flank steak of any excess fat, place in a zip-top bag, and place it in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours in order to firm up. Remove the steak from the freezer and thinly slice the meat with the grain, into long strips. Place the strips of meat along with all of the remaining ingredients into a large, 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and move around to evenly distribute all of the ingredients. Place the bag into the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. Remove the meat from the brine and pat dry. Evenly distribute strips of meat onto trays of food dehydrator. Check out food dehydrators that I use here. I recommend drying 4-6 hours. I enjoy my jerky a little moist, not breaking. If using a commercial dehydrator, follow the manufacturer's directions. Once dry, store in a cool dry place, in an airtight container for 2 to 3 months. If you need help finding a top rated Commercial Dehydrator than visit Amazon.com. Bonus Tip:  How to make beef jerky a little softer? One method is to slice the jerky a little thicker as well as reduce the drying time a bit. Second method would be to add extra sugar to the marinade.
