Homemade Jerky.

Both my teenage children love jerky, and given it is protein what better snack for them to eat.

However it is very expensive to buy in packets, and contains all sorts of preservatives too.

Tim thought about and investigated how to make our own. So some time later 2 kgs of flank steak turned into 850g of jerky. We made teriyaki flavoured jerky, which included coconut sugar to keep it Low GI and it tastes amazing.

Got the seal of approval from both of the kids!

It is hard to photograph to even begin to make it look edible, but trust me it is very yummy.

It works out to be about 1/3 of the cost to make our own. We have a ceramic charcoal fueled covered cooker that we used to dry it out. At 70 deg Cel for about 6 hours.
It will keep for up to 6 months, but I think that is a joke in this house!
