I bought a semi professional meat slicer , and a decent dehydrator. Now I make my own beef jerky and saving tons.
I've read several reviews that suggest DIY beef jerky is only slightly cheaper, and it's a surprising amount of work per pound. The TL;DR of those reviews was that it's just not worth it.
Has that not been your experience? I love to eat it but it's pretty expensive.
My dad used to make beef jerky, it was shit ton of work and he would buy expensive cuts of meat. So it was just as expensive.
It was great jerky though...
With the right tools it takes very little time
