Anyone else a fan of Beef Jerky? I avoided it like the plaque when I was a kid. My dad and my brother always ate it. Well about a year ago on a roadtrip to UCF's Championship football game, I finally tried some again, and loved it. Been eating more and more recently. About a week ago, I saw on Modern Marvels, they had a food special and one of the stops was the Oberto's Jerky factory. It was awesome. My biggest reason I never tried jerky when I was little is that I always thought it was a low grade of beef that went it, scraps or something. Well on the tour, I was dead wrong, they use really highs grades of roast that are really lean.
I've noticed at work now, at the vending machines, they have a little .9oz of Oberto's Beef Jerky for $1. If I have to pick a bag of chips or jerky now, I always go with the jerky now. Love the stuff...

i love it, but i can't eat cilantro or coriander seeds (the seeds of the cilantro plant) and MOST Jerky is seasoned with one or both.
...if anyone knows of a brand that's made without seasoning i'd be much obliged....
i could of course make my own... maybe after we move. Alton Brown did a GREAT episode on Good Eats about Jerky. makes it look easy!

That's one thing they mentioned on the show. They found a surprising number of jerky customers were female. The problem was that the big huge strips they used to sell were to ostentatious and they wanted something more discriminate, so they invented the 'chipper,' which gives us the bite size pieces we have today.
Guapo, that sounds awesome, will have to make a stop on the way home.

LOVE IT! I'd rather have jerky than any other salty snack, any day of the week! I tried making it myself on my smoker, but it needs to be dehydrated, not smoked, so it didnt come out good.
