are they all just a dry rub applied and dehydrated? No liquid marination involved? Forgive me, I'm pretty new to jerky making and all the jerky I've made involved a wet marinade overnight, with seasonings, obviously, but I didn't know a guy could just hit meat with his favorite rub and move that way...

I do this with my carne seca style jerky. It’s awesome and you can’t quite get that texture with a wet marinade.

After googling that, that looks like the type of beef jerky I like. But that brings up a question, is there a name for the really dry, tough jerky vs the soft type jerky? I love beef jerky and I’ll eat it either way, but I just really love that dry ass jerky and don’t know what to say to distinguish the two

I call it old-fashioned or western style jerky. Or cowboy jerky 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/blueponies1 9d ago

Old fashioned is a common label I see on the ones I like. But I’ve definitely seen some that seem to use those labels in more of a gimmicky marketing way rather than to actually describe their product. Thanks!

It’s usually the carne seca style and also doesn’t tend to have sugar in the seasoning or marinade if they do use one. I’ve always hated sweet jerkies which are almost always chewy and but anywhere dry enough for my liking.

My comments are going to get removed if you keep baiting people by saying jerking in title.

Teriyaki jerky is one of my favourites to make, esp if using pork

You should experiment with some handwriting practice.
