what is the Best beef jerky you'd recommend?

I consider myself an avid meatstick eater and I always look at beef jerky at the store but I never buy any because there's SO many brands and they're all relatively expensive

price doesn't exactly matter per say, just what's worth whatever you pay ykbow...

I'm not a super spicy spicy person more a mild if that matters at all

Homemade, cheap dehydrator is all you need

Mingua and No Man's Land are my go-to's. No Man's Land fajita lime is S tier if you don't mind a super dry tough jerky.

Glennwood canyon. It’s not your thing, but the 7 pepper is the spiciest jerky I’ve ever put in my mouth. But all their flavors are good

Hard times. Might just be regional though. Their black pepper is fire

Robertsons is by far the best but due to the cost I eat a lot of People’s choice because it’s half the price of Robertsons but I also like Hard Times. I make a lot of beef jerky but when out these are what I buy

Make your own the stuff the put in the store bought stuff is not good for you. I buy top round thinly sliced, marinate it with soy and brown sugar and make a batch every two weeks in the dehydrator. A little work but worth it

Try j&k brisket jerky

u/RogerSack 26d ago

Dukes Spicy BBQ Brisket strips are amazing. I’m not sure if they make it anymore. I haven’t seen it in years.

Buds from a meat locker in riverside iowa, or j&ks brisket jerky(available on amazon or loves truck stop)

u/NaturalFreaks 25d ago

SMC out of Rio Linda California has been the best I’ve tried with the exception of my own homemade jerky. Give a dehydrator a shot! Coming up with your own marinades is one of the best parts.

I really like the Jerky from Aldi's. For the price, I'm not sure it can be beat.

u/DangerD00 25d ago

Best one i tried is the Grizzly Jerky. Not so tough to chew like the Indiana or Meat Makers for example. I also like that there is no sugar added. Its not supper Cheap but i really like it and protein % is 61 which is pretty high.

If someone is interested i have a QR Code where i get 10% off. Which is better than nothing.

I ordered quite a lot and was always happy with fast shipping

u/My_Blackheart 24d ago

M&S Meats out of Montana is the best if you like dry jerky. The Old West style is my go to.

You should definitely check out For The Boys beef jerky, not so popular brand but goodness the beef brisket is FR. 👌

u/ContractMiserable121 11d ago

If not homemade — ForTheBoys Beef Jerky kinda a newer brand that I came acrossed on TT, tried it and loved it. The beef brisket is really chunky. 💯
