RE: The Best Homemade Jerky Recipe, Ever
I love buying beef jerky from the shop, but they never put much in the packs and it's expensive.

I used to wonder why it was so expensive as well until I did my first batch and realise you get approximately 1kg of jerky from 2kg of meat once you trim away the fat and the water content in it is removed. If you use an expensive cut of meat, 2kg of beef here in Australia especially can be a little pricey. And the preservative free options are even more expensive because of the low shelf-life they have. Still, it ends up being way cheaper than store-bought because there is no packaging, production or transport involved and it tastes way better as well.
I recently bought some Wagyu jerky from Aldi, it's amazing!
