Haha holy bananas, my local market sells 3 kg of kanagaroo steak marinated for $30.
Just FYO strikeZ, when you make jerky, your original weight gets reduced to about 15-20% of what you started with. I.e.. to make 1 gk of jerky, you need to start with 5 kg or more of meat.
I fear that is a bit exaggerated since meat contains over 20% protein, fat, sugars, fibre. And you can't get rid of all the water either.
An easy way to calculate how much it has been reduced is to take the protein content of the final product as a base-line.
Brands vary. Jack Link's has 44% protein. If they start with 20% they need 2.2kg of meat per 1kg of Jerky.
D Jays has 67% protein, so they need to start with 3.3kg of meat for 1kg of Jerky. That probably is as high as it gets.
Thank you beef jerky master
@Mobe1969: so 3.5kg of meat per kg of jerky assuming the same 20% initial protein content of meat.
20% are at the lower end, many meats have around 22%, which means you'd need less of it.
A good source for that kind of information is: http://www.calorieking.com.au
They show kangaroo steak has 22.1% protein, to get to 61.2% in jerky (as per your link for the kangaroo), they only need 2.8kg of meat per 1 kg of jerky.
@team teri:
I probably should have been a bit clearer about what I was saying. I was talking about when you start from a big slab of meat, say 3 or 4 kg; which will invarioubly contain a decent percentage of fat (as in, visible sections of fat). The first step in jerky making is to trim out absolutely all that fat, and I'm counting that as "weight lost" from your initial slab of meat. If you're talking about starting with perfectly lean little strips of meat with all the fat already trimmed off, then the maths would be a bit different; but that would be an even more expensive starting-point…You can pretty much forget about the "sugar" content (this term is used to mean various different things in various different disciplines, but I assume you are using it in a very broad sense, as in "carbohydrate"?), because the percentage of "sugar" in meat is so small that it is not worth considering. Ditto for fibre.
Then there's the water. When I make jerky I make it pretty dry (quite a bit dryer that the Jack Links stuff), because I find it keeps way longer that way. While I can not be sure without doing a full-scale component analysis in the lab', I think I'm removing substantially more than 90% of the water from the meat I'm starting with, after trimming out all the fat.
So when I make it, I buy about 4 kg of topside beef from the market then cut it into flat, manageable bits and trim out all the visible fat. As an estimation, this is about 15% of what I start with. So at that point I have ~3.4 kg. Then after drying thoroughly, it is reduced to less than a (one) kg. So yes, I should have explained what I was saying a bit better. The crux of it though, was that you cannot equate the "by weight" cost of "a steak" bought from the butcher with the cost of jerky; not by a long shot.
Having said that, roo is quite good/economical to make jerky from, if you can get your "starting slab" cheap and don't mind the distinctive taste of it (personally I love the taste); precisely because it has a relatively low fat content.
I was going to place an order, and on the final page, it is trying to add on $7.20 tax ON TOP of the discounted price. Zero sum game…
www.mailorderjerly.com.au is a website on a brand new platform. The tax was an error. Using a US based platform means it added an additional tax. This has now been fixed and thank you for bringing it to our attention
Mail Order Jerky Team
Ah goodo. Thanks. I'll place an order tonight.
I have just checked and it is still adding tax.
I've contacted your site also (ion the weekend), and no response. The issue is still an issue, and isn't fixed.
An update here would be good.
OK everyone, it seems to be working now. The PayPal logon was a bit dodgy for me but that might be PP I suspect. I have a smart token for login, and I couldn't get the login to work with the token number, so I have to partially login without, then fully login again on the next screen with the token. Very odd.
It also seems to work on all items, and they have free shipping over $100.
The 10x 100g sample pack looked good so I grabbed that, try one of each.
Anyone placed an order and have theirs yet? I did just before Christmas, but haven't heard from them. I appreciate it has been the holiday period, but still…
is this pet food ?
also, price in title
