Nice job on the sticks ! One pointer is to take out the racks that you are not using or start from the bottom and leave the top ones in. Less to clean from the drippings
I just started to get in making jerky. This is one of my favorites I learned from this video! For a 3 LBS of ground beef batch I add little hickory liquid smoke, between 1 and 3 teaspoons of habenero powder(1 being most popular constant snacking level of heat) depending how spicy I or my friends want it and 3 tablespoons of honey (1 per pound of beef)made little nicer texture and for some reason worked with my old cheap jerky gun easier and stayed together better(and tastes great). This video really got me into jerky sticks big time thank you!
Love my 10 tray dehydrator (it is a different brand) You are correct, go big, or spend days doing the same thing with a smaller one. I dehydrate everything from venison jerky to veggies, and even eggs... whatever we have in abundance at the time, then simply rehydrate when you need it.
We make this for our family with our home grown beef, we also own a freeze drier and absolutely love it, it has paid for itself many times over in the four years we've owned it. We have a huge garden, raise our own beef, pork, chicken & eggs, so freeze dry all sorts of things. We travel a lot for our business and that's where our freeze drier really pays off, we're able to take our own freeze dried meals so we can eat healthy, inexpensively and the foods we prefer wherever we are. Since buying our freeze drier we dehydrate and can much less.
Screen grab straight to the recipe folder. I love moose jerky, and usualy go for High Mountain brand, but love the home made option...Will try for sûre!
I liked this video so much I bought a dehydrated, going to start a batch today. Nice & simple, thanks for sharing. You’re obviously from Canada, me too. I love your Liberal & NDP fridge magnets!!
Been making ground jerky for years now. I add a bit of liquid smoke, soy and w sauce. No sugar. Sometimes I'll pepper the outside before drying. It gets it a little spicier in my opinion. Also I'll flip them over after an hour or so so they don't stick.
I was looking at the dehydrator the other day. Want to upgrade from my all plastic Cabelas model. Vevor is quickly becoming my new favorite store. Recently bought clamp on forks for my tractor bucket and an an exhaust fan for the greenhouse. Free shipping and great prices.
Thank you very much for this. 👍I have been looking for carry and go snacks on my new Carnivore diet and never even thought of making my own meat sticks. Already have a Dehydrator but will need to remove sugar completely. Will start with some small batches to check out how it goes. Once again thank you.❤ 🥰🥰🇨🇦
That’s great! Funny as I was just looking at the vevor dehydrator yesterday before you put this video out… I want to upgrade from our Peavey Mart - $60 plastic dehydrator unit once we sell our house and move out to the farm. I’ve also been eyeing up their commercial sized vacuum sealer machines, and faux teak flooring for our old 5th wheel trailer - Vevor is awesome! I bought a still for making alcohol and extracting essential oils from them last year, and just bought a 5 kw auxiliary diesel heater as they’re on sale right now, and I need one for cold winter driving in our Sprinter van next year! I’m considering outfitting an entire stainless steel commercial kitchen from that website.
Awesome! instant subscribe here, fantastic video and really well put together, thank you I really appreciate that you edit this so well, and the results are great
Chipotle powder in these and in jerky marinade is awesome. Gives even more smoked flavor and extra heat but not too much if you dial in your recipe. I also add liquid smoke to mine even though they do go in my smoker for at least an hour before hitting the dehydrator.
I'm up to moruga scorpion powder! On heat it sits between a ghost pepper and a Carolina reaper. A little dash will do ya, a little more will do ya in! I got the mortgage powder free with an order from the sonoran spice company. They have all kinds of peppers for one to play with. I now have an awesome verde Mexican rub for my verde chicken!
I'll buy a bag of the caribou, elk,moose then deer - my order of preference. My deli in town retired so no more elk sticks. I found late night if my sugar was high I would have one stick and it was enough to bring down my sugar numbers. I would like my spicy. P.S. saw your bananas they have seeds.
Equal parts soy sauce and 'watch your sister' sauce is my go to for burgers and jerky. Of course with jerky spices are added but something about the combo of those two sauces mixed with red meat is just simply mouth watering delishishness
Very helpful!! - my only thought, don't leave the empty trays in the dehyd'r, no need to clean them. Or maybe put those up top so they don't get dripped on. Just thinking out loud. Awesome dehyd'r. Mine has plastic trays but I line them. Oh well. Thank you btw!!!
I just made some myself last week, Instead of sugar I used 4 tablespoons teryaki sauce per pound. I also put in onion powder and a pinch of crushed red pepper.
Bags are great, I bought a box of 1000 , so cheep! I use a #32 hand grinder that I added a motor to it , it grinds & stuff s the bags as fast as I can feed the venison in. I will be trying your recipe next archery season!
FYI, you can use the dough hook on a KitchenAid stand mixer to mix this. You just need to keep scraping it down. A batch this size would need to be split into 2-3. I have arthritis and mixing cold meat by hand hurts. I figured there might be others in the same boat.
Perfect!!! I do have a question. Do you happen to know the seasonings that old Wisconsin puts in their turkey meat sticks. Walmart has successfully made a replica of their meat sticks but I would love to try to make them at home. They are quite zesty, with a hint of spice, and a bit of sweetness.
@@ArkopiaRUclips I agree... BUT please remind your viewers... FAT goes rancid and can be a health issue... this is why we need to put this in the Refrigerator just in case...
Salt and sugar preserves a bit (enough for our daily use). Smoke preserves, and a cure will preserve if you need something to be shelf stable for a while. ✌️ Again, no sense using nitrites because this doesn’t last very long. 🤪
@@ArkopiaRUclips I agreed. There are other things to use instead of nitrates. I cook a lean hamburger drain fat if there is any then dehydrate. Lasted a year or more this way. I like the idea of beef sticks. A local butchers market used to make beef sticks. Unfortunately he's gone. Thank ypu
If you do not have jerky gun you can just use a rolling pin to flatten it out between some chopsticks and cut it into strips and roll strips in to round sticks.
We don't have a dehydrator and lack the power to run something like that for most of the year; could this be air-dried outdoors during the summer months, or on a rack over the woodstove in winters? We're completely off-grid, like bare-bones minimal everything, and looking at all the different ways we can preserve meat without relying on freezers and fancy equipment, lol. Edit: NM, you just mentioned that you store it in the freezer 🤦♀️ That won't work for us, but thanks for the idea nonetheless, it looks and sounds super tasty!
@@SolarCookingGermany Thanks! I came across a video on the biltong box, but the humidity here is absolutely INSANE this summer!!! I can't get ANYTHING to dry, not even my rabbit pelts with a quarter inch of salt on them!
I like to use liquid smoke in the mixture for the smoked flavour. Do you grind your own meat? My gun tends to clog with sinew, even when double ground from ttt hr s butcher
Mine is literally the cheapest one I could find at a local surplus store, and it works great. Pick up anything you can find, but this brand is called “Kitchener” jerky shooter
How do you store these long term? I'm considering either vacuum sealing them in mason jars and just storing on the shelf or using standard vacuum sealing pouches and storing in the freezer.
Would there be any benefit/detriment to freeze drying the resulting sticks? Would they last for years then? Would rehydrating them after freeze drying ruin them?
Could this be left on the counter or just zip locks instead of freezing them? I plan to travel, and I want to make a big batch for my dad, but I don't want to risk it going bad.
Not long. You can use smoke or a meat cure to make it shelf stable. This is how we eat healthy and cheap on a regular basis. In the summer if I have time I’ll dig out the smoker. ✌️
@ thank you. Is there a specific brand that you could recommend? I have made jerky for years for Christmas gifts and mixed my own marinades but never used a jerky cure due to my ignorance. I’ve made it in my dehydrator. This year I’m going to try making it using ground beef. I ordered a jerky gun to try so I need to find some good jerky seasoning.
Local butcher shops and suppliers can get you some nitrates (cure). I’ve even asked a grocery store butcher for some and they sold me a little bag of what they use. 👍 Salt, sugar, and smoking it is a preservative, but for shelf stability a cure is what is added.
We refrigerate. Needs smoke and/or a meat cure (nitrites or nitrates) to make shelf stable. The salt and sugar is a cure a bit, but we just refrigerate. If I didn’t have refrigeration, I’d put my cure in and smoke it.
In South Africa its called droe wors (dried sausage) you might want to try the droewors recipe its a bit healthier as it only contains a few spices, vinegar and worcesterhire sauce but no sugar and ask any South African. That and biltong (healthier version of jerky) its the best.
Great video, I bought the cheap dehydrator from Princess auto today, it worked for an hour and died. Is your dehydrator 110v or 220v? Can’t find the Vevor in 110v.
I am no cook. I have a question, are the meat sticks still "raw" meat after they come out of dehydrator or are they now cooked? I'm new to cooking meat so I'm wondering if this process brings the meat over the safe to consume temperatures I always hear about.
@@ArkopiaRUclips okay cool! I will make a batch with sugar first and give it a try! Its just every time I make cured bacon, I have found I like the flavor of just a salt cure over a cure with brown sugar! So, I was just curious! But I sure would love some meat sticks!
@ I haven’t tried them yet . I haven’t made it to the meat processing store. I’m hoping next week we can make a trip there. It’s in another town. But I will post once I try it.
This would be great for the zombie apocalypse if the electronics survive an EMP. I usually make Turkey jerky from boneless skinless turkey breasts, cut on meat slicer when semi frozen but any animal 🧟♀️ will work. Soy, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, salt, pepper, vinegar, soy sauce and brown sugar. Thank you for sharing!
Why not using the cure? Aren't you worried about bit C. Bot? I know you are bringing up to a safe temperature however how long does it take to get through the danger zone? Be safe!
That's awesome. Looks tasty. Just looked up the dehydrator and it's $200.99 now. What a deal!
Sweet. It’s a great machine. No different than other brands, but way cheaper. 👍
$319.99 for the one posted here (1000 watt). Where do you see $200.99?
Most air fryers have a dehydration feature. So if you have one that should work out great.

For the people without a jerky gun I just used a rolling pin to flatten it out and cut it into strips, turned out excellent!
me too but I just got a sausage stuffer, I'll see how they come out with the smallest tube, no skins.
I roll mine in parchment paper folded in half to get a good squeeze without sticking to the roller. 🤘🍻
Thank you for the rolling pin information.
It's a caulking gun 😂
Excellent idea!
They look delicious. You're a solid example of a good father, caring husband, and responsible provider for your family.
Nice job on the sticks ! One pointer is to take out the racks that you are not using or start from the bottom and leave the top ones in. Less to clean from the drippings
Looks good Dean. The fridge stickers made my day. Throw in saskatoons instead of sugar and you’d have pemican.
I love my ground venison. Whitetail and mule deer. I grind all but the best cuts of meat from each deer I harvest.
Thats why South Africa has big healthy people. Droe wors....dried sausages. And biltong .and dried apricots and guava and peach rolls.
This is how they won the 23 rugby cup. No salads. Go springboks

When do we get a tour of your shop and prep kitchen? I’d love to see how you have it set up.

No clue
I usually add a little pork fat to my ground venison. I assume it would be better to use leaner meat when making snack sticks?
My beef had lots of nice fat. Pork fat great for sausage, or this stuff. I like fat. ✌️
@@ArkopiaRUclips
I agree... BUT please remind your viewers... FAT goes rancid and can be a health issue... this is why we need to put this in the Refrigerator just in case...
ill have to try it without the sugar
Awesome.
Question. If you want it shalf stable. Do you need to dry more? Wipe off oil after done?
Salt and sugar preserves a bit (enough for our daily use). Smoke preserves, and a cure will preserve if you need something to be shelf stable for a while. ✌️ Again, no sense using nitrites because this doesn’t last very long. 🤪

I forget. Have a store called “princess auto” I think I got it from. They’re all the same. This was cheap.
Awsome
Looks SO good! What is considered a serving size when packing lunches or for snack? You eat it straight from the freezer? Thank you!
A stick or 2 for the kids lunch. Straight from freezer to lunch. Not a lot of moisture in to freeze anyway

Without power, salt cured meat, use smoke to preserve, and even use the nitrite meat cure.

How do you store these long term? I'm considering either vacuum sealing them in mason jars and just storing on the shelf or using standard vacuum sealing pouches and storing in the freezer.
Can add a meat cure and store room temperature for a long time. We just freeze them and make fresh batches often.
Can you use a smoker instead?
Does this mean you can already eat them after dehydrating?
It’s brought to safe temperature, so yes of course.
Would there be any benefit/detriment to freeze drying the resulting sticks? Would they last for years then? Would rehydrating them after freeze drying ruin them?
Could freeze dry and package for long term storage. Then just rehydrate with water when you want to eat. ✌️
Could this be left on the counter or just zip locks instead of freezing them? I plan to travel, and I want to make a big batch for my dad, but I don't want to risk it going bad.
Add your nitrates (cure). From butcher shop or anywhere that sells sausage making supplies.
How long would this stuff last if you didnt put it in the freezer? glass jar or something? a week? just curious
Not long. You can use smoke or a meat cure to make it shelf stable. This is how we eat healthy and cheap on a regular basis. In the summer if I have time I’ll dig out the smoker. ✌️
isnt celery salt a nitrate substitute?.
Best way to store it for Christmas gifts?
Add a jerky cure and make it shelf stable. 👍

The meat is brought up to safe temperature. Chicken and pork is different than beef. Get yourself a meat thermometer too.
Can you do this with ground beef?? If so do you recommend 80/20 or like 95/5??
100% beef is great. 100% venison is also great. Any combination of red meat is great. 👍
Just curious, why don’t you use curing salt?
Kids get too many nitrites and cures as it is. Freezing is good for temporary use. Healthier
Do you refrigerate them? How long will they last?
They last us a week. 🤪. Refrigerate. Want to preserve them, use meat cure (nitrites) and/or smoke
how's the taste with no sugar and some more heat like cayenne pepper?
Sugar really does make it taste good. I Jew the basic recipe how I have it, then add heat if I ever make a batch just for me.
@@ArkopiaRUclips okay cool! I will make a batch with sugar first and give it a try!
Its just every time I make cured bacon, I have found I like the flavor of just a salt cure over a cure with brown sugar!
So, I was just curious!
But I sure would love some meat sticks!
Does the ground meat have fat mixed in it? If I grind my own deer meat, should I not mix with fat? TIA
There’s fat in the ground beef. I would use leaner stuff, and save the fat for making sausage.
Drooool!😋
What is the temperature of a Tauntaun on the ice fields of Hoth? 10:49
Does grease not come out of the beef sticks you are making?
It does and it’s delicious. The sign of a good dehydrator with air flow is less condensation and drips inside a machine.
How long do they last after youve made them
I freeze mine because I don’t use a cure. You can add nitrites or some other kind of cure and make them shelf stable if you want.
@@ArkopiaRUclips I found it on Amazon cheers for the advice and the video
How lond do the jerky keep?
Degrees C. for the rest of the world .Don't be lazy :) New Sub
i'd add caraway seeds, they;d be like polish kabanos.
Can I leave out the sugar ? I can’t have sugar. How lean should the beef be ?
I like lots of fat in mine. Can substitute honey, or no sugar at all. It’s most enjoyable with brown sugar.
@@ArkopiaRUclips thank you so very kindly! I can’t wait to try this . 😍
@@hopemoody4854 have you tried them, how did they turn out without sugar?
@ I haven’t tried them yet . I haven’t made it to the meat processing store. I’m hoping next week we can make a trip there. It’s in another town. But I will post once I try it.
Can you just smoke them instead of dehydrating or would they not last as long?
For sure. I use smoker in winter, and dehydrator in summer
This would be great for the zombie apocalypse if the electronics survive an EMP. I usually make Turkey jerky from boneless skinless turkey breasts, cut on meat slicer when semi frozen but any animal 🧟♀️ will work.
