Beef Jerky

[epp01]

Where in Calgary can you buy good beef jerky? I don't want the 7-11 stuff, or the sobey's garbage stuff. But the like.. none name brand good stuff without all the added extra's?

[ExtraSlow]

Not Calgary, Longview.
Or the GTI in caroline.

[epp01]

Ahh I know out of town sells good stuff I was hoping there was a place in town that sells it.

[Kritafo]

Just make your own there are lots of recipes on the net. You don't need to buy a dehydrator although it's handy. You can marinade in all sorts of flavours. I usually do a spicy and a regular. Just make sure you buy very lean strips of meat or you will be cutting fat out forever and cut very thin. You can store in mason jars, and keep for some time plastic bags produce moisture. Liquid smoke is your friend - some of the best jerky I have made has been with liquid smoke. Just remember a little goes a long way.

Tons of recipes, they are oven style not dehydrator style.

To add to this list:

Back Country Butchering, in Cowley, Alberta.

This is by FAR the best jerky I have ever had. Pork and Beef, cut really thick and marinated. So tender and delicious. If you're heading to Fernie, I would HIGHLY recommend stopping by and grabbing some.

They also have absolutely unbelievable ribeyes.

Seriously, best Beef Jerky ever. Even white ppl love it. Singapore style, beef, pork, spicy. Place is a hole in the wall, just absolutely covered in grease and disgusting, but nobody cares. I usually buy a small suitcase/gymbag full whenever I go to vancouver.

They ship to Calgary too if you're jonesin' for a hit haha.

Everytime we go to Vancouver or have friends coming down, we pick up 5-10lbs. Completely agree. Best Jerky.

I think we have 4 or 5 pounds in the freezer right now. I lol'd the first time I saw their little store... pretty gross.

[Kritafo]

Rocky Mountain Ranch has some pretty good jerky as well.

Elk and Bison, very tasty.

[ExtraSlow]

Calgary Meats on Edmonton Trail at 1th ave NE too. Nice little butcher shop.

[adam c]

Longview? Really?

I made the mistake of driving out there for their beef jerkey, shit was dry as sand paper

[civic_stylez]

im happy with good ol' mcsweenys peppered jerky... :drool:

Hope it turns out well, we love making ours...it's slightly a pain to cut the meat but well worth it in the end.

What kind of meat do you end up buying?

I was thinking of getting a roast and slicing it up as its the most economical

as for the marinade I intend on using

Soy Sauce
Salt
Pepper
Crushed Chill Peppers
Cayenne
Hot Sauce
Lime
Liquid Smoke
Worchesteshire

As I'm trying to keep it as carb conscience I won't be using any sort of sugar, but I may add some Sugar free 7UP as it adds a very nice sweet tint.

Marinade it tonight, cook it in the oven tomorrow night and store it overnight ready for Thursday snacking

[Guillermo]

how thin do you have to slice the meat?

[Toilet_D]

If you guys find yourselves travelling through merritt bc, stop by a ranch called kuipers, they have a butcher shop there that sells fab beef jerky and all sorts of goodies!

At one point they carry them in Calgary, ABC bakery in china town, but it changed hand few months ago, so not sure if they still do carry them.

I generally use a flank I was told by the butcher that was a good cut. Rump roast works well just make sure you trim the fat.

Hope it turns out well.

All this talk practically forced me to buy the package of longview original jerky off the beer cart gal this afternoon. It was delicious, and not at all dry.
Goes good with kokanee

[me_dennis]

jerky king on 14th st is pretty good

[blibbertibs]

+1 for jerky king. also a shady little hole in the wall place like bee kim heng. They've also got pork (my favorite), salmon, and turkey jerky.

[Sophal]

If you live in the south end of town. High river has a shop called foothills custom meats and they have excellent jerky by far better than anything in Longview

[sputnik]

Longview is over rated

Hirsch Fraser Meats in Okotoks. Great meat and Jerky.

[adam c]

Jerky King is loaded with MSG which I don't like too much

[ExtraSlow]

Horizon Meats does excellent jerky. Bought some this week, and it's sitting in a bag on my desk.

Very moist, I'll be buying more of this. Price is $7.99/100g, which I think is decent.

[supe]

I was at the farmers market last weekend which lets you sample their stuff which is pretty tasty. I got the honey garlic flavor which was delish.

[rage2]

Bee Kim Heng beef jerky was on Dragon's Den last month.

http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/1221254309/ID=2139225761

FFWD to the 9 min mark.

[msommers]

Go to the farmer's markets in town. Great stuff. Pepperoni sticks are much better too!

[GQBalla]

the bkh stuff must be real good, i definitely got to try it

[kcasement]

Balzac Meat Market does a pretty good jerky. It's of the thinner variety. Tried Jerky King a couple times but I wasn't impressed at all. Rocky's Sausage Haus on Edmonton Tr makes it too, but haven't tried theirs yet.

[SportEL]

Singapore SOO. You can find it at T&T.

I tried Jerky King and at first I had a similar opinion but I tried toasting it a bit in my toaster oven, just until the sugar caramelized and it was actually pretty delicious. Definitely worth the trouble lol

Indeed. I recently went fishing near Longview so I decided to stop in on the way back for some jerky. It's been a few years since I've had it and remembered it being pretty good. It's quite expensive ($20/bag containing the same amount you would get for $10 in the city) and tasted processed.

I will, however, give them props for their habanero jerky. Usually when a package says 'hot' or 'spicy' it's a big disappointment but this stuff was smokin hot.

[89coupe]

You can't buy Longview beef jerky anywhere but Longview. The shit that says Longview in the stores in Calgary is not the same Longview jerky you buy in Longview.

Longview Jerky is by far the best IMO.

Nothing comes close.

This is the real stuff.

This is the crap you buy at Safeway.

I disagree wholeheartedly with your opinion. The stuff now is not strips of beef, it's processed which is obvious by the shape (imagine pringles). It used to be dynamite back in the day but it's brutal now.

For anyone who is interested BKH jerky has a special on right now.

Thanks man!

I ordered a 100+ worth of jerky - hope it stays fresh....

[Diesel2005]

I will split with someone if anyone else is interested.

[BigDL]

Damm their price got jacked up if you order online (without the deal), that sucks.

[Diesel2005]

Is 3lb of jerky alot? :P

[rage2]

Not really, I can finish that in a day haha.

[jdmsource]

just ordered some! it better be good rage:D

[xnvy]

What flavours did you guys order?

[BigDL]

If they haven't changed anything besides packaging since Dragons Den then you will not be dissaponted. Each time I go to vancouver I buy well over $100 worth to bring back for people.

[gatorade]

How much did you guys get charged for shipping?, I am considering order, but not sure how good a deal this is after shipping cost, especially considering, the shipping date is 2 weeks minimum.

[msommers]

I just got one 3x1lb order and it was 10.20 for shipping. Yeah I couldn't believe the shipping time though, what the fuck are they doing there, killing the cow once I place my order?!

[syritis]

I couldn't believe how easy it was to make beef jerky the first time i did.

Slice meat. the thinner the better.
marinade. whatever flavors you choose. it's up to you, search for some idea's online.
dehydrate. via dehydrator. on oven racks or in a smoker.

it'll take a couple tries to get it right but saves big bucks off buying store brands.

[jdmsource]

I placed my order and later that afternoon they emailed me a tracking number. Shipping cost was $10

[K3RMiTdot]

i wish it allowed us to choose 3/4 flavours, unless im retarded and i dont see that option somwhere?

[xnvy]

[K3RMiTdot]

Anyone here on beyond want to trade flavours? HAHAH, i want to try a little bit of everything =)

LOL, it's not processed. It never was strips of beef, it's flank steak cut up into chunks and marinated for days to break down the meat. It hasn't changed in 32 years.

[MM99lude]

If you are ever near the ESSO on Glenmore East and 30th they have "BEN'S BEEF JERKY" from Lethbridge. It is really good IMHO. Addictive like crack - but really good.

[adam c]

so whats the best flavour? i watched the dragons den episode and it looks like they liked the pork better? the other thing i don't get is on the show they said they sell it for $21/lbs so where did the huge price increase come from

markup price
put on wagjag for "huge" discount
sell for original price.
,,,,
profit!

1lb of jerky =6lbs of raw 70% moisture,plus spices,plus labor,plus packaging.

Just for your info in 1980 1 lb of beef jerky was 9 bucks.

i really don't know wtf you are trying to say here

when the owner was on dragons den he said they sold their product for $21/lbs and wagjag is sayings it's $32/lbs

[dj_rice]

I placed an order with WagJag on Sunday night. I'm still waiting for my voucher. Anyone else still waiting or did I do it wrong

Pretty sure we have to wait the 8 days until its over. Then the shit just gets shipped. We dont have to do anything.

:dunno:

It was $21 when I was in Vancouver during the summer. But that was Cash only in the store.

[xnvy]

I got my voucher, it says print it off and take it to the vendor. I'm not in Vancouver any time soon. :dunno: And if that's true why would they want my shipping address. Pretty sure they're going to ship it and voucher is trying to bs me. :nut:

When you bought the voucher, you choose your flavor and shipping address and etc so pretty sure they sent the order to BKH already and this is just your voucher for proof. Just wait the 2-4 weeks for shipping.

[xnvy]

TY man. :thumbsup:

[K3RMiTdot]

they sold out =(

[dj_rice]

Just got my confirmation shipping email. My beef jerky arrives tomorrow. OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAA :thumbsup:

[K3RMiTdot]

mine does too! but i had to purchase them individually cuz the coupon had sold out

[n1zm0]

ha i didn't know ppl would take a liking to this stuff at all, my mom makes the S'pore style beef and pork jerky every summer from a family recipe, we get bags and bags from M'sia and Brunei from relatives (even though youre not supposed to import beef here, but the package calls the ingredient "fresh meat" lol), also my pops knew the ppl at Bee Kim at one point, they're Brunei Chinese folk.
