      Thanks I ordered now, if I'm not buying the full kilo it is okay to pay bad prices.

          @outbackjerky: Yeah and the small bags at the supermarket are still less than $112.90/kg (+ shipping) when full price. This website is for deals not supporting local business.

  Would love to try this but seriously as said above for $112 a kilo this is really not a bargain.

    Maybe don't post on a bargain website something that clearly is not a bargain, the price per kilo is very high.
    If you want people to try your product, do a good deal on a mix and match for the jerky, that's more around $70 per kg.

  • Dehydrator
  • Kilo or 2 of good skirt steak
  • Favourite recipe's (marinade and rubs) rom the internet

  = cheap jerky whenever I want, how I want.

  Fresh out of the dehydrator (and cooled down) is awesome, though will keep for quite a while if stored properly.

    Erm … actually there is really no such thing as 'cheap' DIY beef jerky, and believe me I've tried to realise that dream. The basic reason is that like all fresh meat, fresh beef is upwards of 75% water. So, 1 kg of whatever fresh lean beef you can find is reduced to about 250 g, often less if you need to trim off some errant fat before you start, after drying. Even 'good skirt steak' as alluded to above by P-Jack (topside makes much nicer jerky in my humble opinion) will cost at least $24 per kilo in Australia at the moment, and that is from Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne. lt will be more expensive at a standard retail butcher. ERGO, assuming that you already own a dehydrator, a realistic price breakdown to make 1 kg of beef jerky 'DIY' is:

    4 kg beef steak: $100-120
    Marinade/flavours (soy sauce, or chilli, or pepper, etc.): ~$5
    Power to run the dehydrator: Variable, depending on your circumstances ($0 if you have solar and a battery, for example; otherwise, a substantial amount because you need to run a hot electric dehydrator for many many hours to make beef jerky)
    Your time: (insert 2 x your hourly rate of pay here; it will take you an absolute minimum of 2 hours to buy and prepare all the stuff, marinate the jerky, put it all in the dehydrator, monitor it, etc.).

    Because the last two costs are highly variable I won't put a dollar total on what it will cost you to create 1 kg of quality beef jerky yourself, but it will be an absolute minimum of $105, not including any cost for your time. The stuff that's substantially cheaper at Coles/Woolies is—as the OP mentions—loaded up with sugar (which is quite heavy stuff!), and it also tastes pretty dreadful. I make jerky myself regularly, but not to save money (it's probably about the most expensive thing I ever 'cook'!); I do it because it tastes so much better to me the ways that I make it, and I can make different versions for different peeps (including the kids).

    The only way you could realise the dream of 'cheap DIY jerky' in Australia is if you knew a hunter who was licensed to shoot and take deer, camel, or roo, or you were that hunter. All those three species make delicious jerky. If you also had solar power and a battery, you could make said jerky almost for free.

      You wait for sales or clearance prices on meat.

      Also, you forgot about the cost and depreciation of equipment.

      • 

        GnarlyKnuckles on 10/04/2023 - 21:07

        For the last few years (since COVID set in in earnest, essentially) beef has never really gone on 'clearance' at all; at least not in Melbourne.

        Re:

        "Also, you forgot about the cost and depreciation of equipment."

        … note that I did mention that my calculations were based on an assumption that you already owned a dehydrator.

      Your time: (insert 2 x your hourly rate of pay here.

      Surely you are kidding right? You actually put a price on things you like doing? Do you tell your wife that driving to the shops will cost 1 hour of salary? I bet you stay home in your armchair so you are not spending any of your hourly rate on anything. Your post is rubbish and irrelevant, otherwise people wouldnt cook, play sport, have hobbies etc etc, because they woulds have to add salary to them.

        Holy guacamole Batman, you've missed the point entirely. I like eating/snacking on the jerky, every time. After about the third time making the jerky, the novelty wares off and there is no real enjoyment derived from that (lengthy) process. So, the choice then becomes whether to buy jerky that is equally as nice for a similar price that it costs me in actual money and time to make, or to make it myself.

          @GnarlyKnuckles: Do you feel the same way about dinner? Or mowing the lawn? Or doing laundry? Not sure your logic stacks up.

            GnarlyKnuckles on 10/04/2023 - 21:33

            @The Judge: Yes I do Your Honour, absolutely. It no doubt is associated with the fact that I can choose to work whenever I want from home, and earn a reasonable amount per hour (or per 20 minutes, or whatever).

            Therefore, it is a 'no brainer' for me that if I can pay someone else to do something that I would rather not do myself, in less time than it would take me to earn the money they require to do that task, I will do that.

            Now that I have elaborated a little, does the logic stack up for you?

            I can tell you, the reality of the situation certainly 'stacks up' for me.

              @GnarlyKnuckles: I wasn't referring to the economics of the situation, or care much for your humble brag about how much money you allegedly make. What I was alluding to was the novelty factor…like doing laundry, the process may slightly decrease in enjoyment over time but the benefit is still the same, be that a tasty protein rich snack, or some crisp clean sheets. I too can afford to do both - buy jerky and have someone do my washing - but regardless of the novelty factor I prefer to do it myself, because I am an adult, don't like wasting money, and derive a sense of satisfaction from accomplishing tasks.

                @The Judge: Hmmm, I mentioned no actual sums of money so I find your reference to 'humble bragging' misguided, but I too care not.

                Now, perhaps a simplified hypothetical example may assist your understanding of the concept I am driving at? The concept is also highly relevant to numerous posts here on OzB, which is why I am taking the time to explain it.

                Say, for example, I can earn $30 an hour sitting on my couch at home at my laptop, while watching a couple of kids (multi-tasking). Say I also need my lawn mowed (to use your example) and a local guy will do it for $20 an hour. Surely you understand that the logical thing for me to do is to work for the required hour/s, pay that guy to mow my lawn, and thus come out way on top?

                I suppose you could mount arguments about the virtues of exercise etc., but that is pretty far removed from the original concept we were debating. When it comes to exercise, I prefer forms and modalities that are way more fun than mowing the lawn, or other such mindless things.

      No, wrong.
      Your interpretation does not reflect everyone's reality.

      I get good quality skirt steak for ~$13 - 14/kg. Sometimes cheaper if i buy >5kg.

      I buy bulk spices, condiments etc from different places (like at markets or wholesale places) to make more than just jerky.
      Also I don't make exclusive trips to buy just meat or particular spices etc for making jerky.

      I make a bulk lot of different marinades and freeze in portions. The dehydrator I have is large (10 tray) and capable of making a decent amount of dried jerky….or a few different sorts at a time.

      Prep time is probably 10-15 minutes if using pre-made portions.

        I would love to know where I can buy quality lean skirt steak for < $13 a kilo in Melbourne.

        What is your estimated cost of jerky production PJ, per kilo—factoring in only electricity and ingredients, not the purchase price of the dehydrator or the price of your '10-15 minutes' (which seems a little fanciful to me, but whatevs)?

        Lastly, would you sell me some? If so, PM me with an offer!
