This isn't an official answer as I am looking for just that now but on one forum I just read, someone said it's about 3 to 1 or 3 pounds of beef equals about 1 pound of jerky. I'm gonna make my own today and will update with an answer when I know for sure. Also, keep in mind, it's not a static number, different types of meat and probably even different meat of the same cut won't always have the exact same same fresh to dehydrated weight ratio but I am sure there is a generalized number where it's always a little more or a little less then x to y. Hope this helps.

What meat do you use for beef jerky?

Jerky can be made from any type of meat. I've eaten turkey jerky, deer jerky, pork jerky, beef jerky, buffalo jerky and a couple of others. Jerky is basically just dried meat. Many people make their own by laying the strips of meat on a cookie sheet, basting it with teriyaki and drying it at a low temp in the oven. It can also be dried in the sun if there is a way to keep critters off of it. Just look up jerky recipes in your favorite search engine.

When making beef jerky 350 degrees would be too high of a temperature. generally, around 265 degrees is the best temperature to make jerky. 350 would cook rather than dry the meat, and jerky is a dehydrated meat.


What cut of beef is beef jerky made from?

Jerky is also called jerked meat, jerky is meat (usually beef) that is cut into long, thin strips and dried (traditionally by the sun). Jerky was a popular staple with early trappers, just as it is with today's backpackers because it keeps almost indefinitely and is light and easy to transport. It's quite tough and salty but is very flavorful and high in protein. It is made of horses meat duh!!
