Best beef jerky?

[SVJ]

My staple is Montana Banana’s slab-style thin cut EXTRA HOT. Available at BevMo, and Amazon. Not sure who else stocks it.

That’s all I can truly vouch for. I’ve had other decent jerky, but would love to find one that can beat Montana Banana’s version listed above. Please, share any great jerky in this thread.

Ordered a bag. At first, I was like... what's so special?
Then I ate the whole thing. Pretty darned good. Just ordered some people's choice too. When it asked how I heard about it I had to tell them, BARF.

I hope you just told them, rather than rely on performance art for this.

Easy
Most Ovens have dehydrator settings. Add Liquid Smoke seasoning to the Marinade.

That looks great!

Though, you probably meant Tobasco instead of Tobacco.

Maybe he has a severe nicotine addiction..... Or he could have meant Tabasco Sauce which is made on Avery Island here in LA. Been on the site tour and to my everlasting horror tried the Tabasco ice cream and still can't get the taste out of my memory.

Also tried Tabasco beer at a beer fest one time never again......

Good catch, I don't use Tabasco, I prefer the taste of habanero peppers over the others.

I'm willing to bet it would have come out better if they just used tobacco. Tabasco is nasty. The lowest of hot sauces.

I thought this was about smoking meat tho!

Friend of mine has a side gig making jerky. It's better than pretty much everything I've bought in a store.

Boy I wish I could recall the name of it.

There used to be a fast casual restaurant down here called "Mozambique".

And they had this sausage that was simply extraordinary. I can't place the seasonings. It had a tomato-ish sauce on it (not Italian by any stretch of the word).

Their food was, I guess, "inspired" from the Southern Africa region. The other thing they served was "Peri-Peri" sauced chicken. I can't recall if I ever ate that.

It wasn't a dried sausage, but boy howdy -- was it yummy.

They have a parent restaurant, fancy place in Laguna Beach. Looking at their menu, I don't see the same dish. They have a Boerewors sausage. I don't know if that's the same thing or not, frankly.

Pity. If it was, I'd go there and pay silly amounts of money for it.

We ate last night at a place called “Mozambiq”. South African cuisine and they have Boerwors and Droëwors, albeit only on their $32 sampler plate. The SA at my table seemed to like it.

This is in The Woodlands, Texas. I believe the restaurant is a chain.
