I love eating beef jerky as a snack!

Superlift-- can you suggest a good brand? so many out there, trying to find the healthier ones..Thanks!

Iron Bull is supposed to be a good one. Beware as many contain MSG, not good if you want to stay lean.

also dried / cured meats tend to have a high content of sodium.

i might start making my own beef jerky soon. i think all you need is a dehydrator, and it only takes around 14 hours to make!....i think

I make my own all the time and use my oven. I even make turkey and chicken jerky.

Stone.. what are the steps? what do you need to get?

[aknopf95]

most commercial beef jerky that i have seen contain soluble nitrites or nitrates which aren't good for your long term health

Give yourself some time. It takes a while! I also marinate over night for more flavor.
