Jerky

Post by Tony L » Sun Feb 24, 2013 12:07 pm

Just sliced a moose roast and placed in the fridge to marinate over night to make jerky with. :drool:

And I have white bread rising in pans almost ready for the oven. :mmm:

Think I'll just make up bacon wrapped deep sea scallops for supper tonight if I get another burst of energy.
Can't find the camera to take any pics... drat.

Jerky is probably one of my favourite snacks, never had moose I'm assuming is similar to deer but gamier?

Yeah, pretty distinct flavour. Game taste as you would expect.
I have had moose that was mild that tasted a lot like deer, but most moose is stronger in taste.

Jerky is one of my favourite snacks as well! I make it fairly often in my dehydrater, but have never used Moose or deer. Would be interesting to try it though.

I was going to ask what did you want, minced moose or steak for Chalmers to bring over for you, and while I'm at it, what type of meat did you want also Chalmers?

What type of dehydrater do you have. I went with the 4 tray Excalibur http://www.excaliburdehydrator.com/dehydrators/4-tray" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and it is good enough for my needs.

I had some caribou jerky that kicked ass a few years back. Never had moose, would love to try it.

Tony, I'd love to try moose steak cooked on the grille. If there is anything that you need/want from my area, definitely let me know!

This is the dehydrator that I use. Like yours, it works pretty good for my needs.

Steaks it will be then. The steaks I have are not very thick and won't be good on the grill AFAIK. It will probably be tough.

No worries Tony. I'll cook them rare instead of medium rare. :D

Are you guys all hunters or is there a place I can pick up a moose steak around here? Been craving some moose.

Well I don't know if you would call me a hunter. What I do is to go out in the woods and dig a big hole. I get a can of Jolly Green Giant green peas and spread around the hole. When the moose comes out for a pea, I kick him in the hole. :P Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I hunt, but this year I didn't get a licence. I was given some moose by a buddy and I happened to have enough to give to a couple of guys here a meal.
Perhaps at some later date.....
