Don't know how feasible this is to cook, but jerky will last more than 4 days. One of my favorite snacks, but it is very expensive.
Funny this comes up, I just made jerky at home for the first time a couple days ago. Much cheaper and very tasty. Easier than I was expecting too.
Did you just use a cut of meat from the store?
Yup, top round.
Would you mind sharing the recipe you used? I may have to try this!
The recipe I used ended up being terrible haha, so I kinda started winging it halfway through. The later batches turned out better after some adjustments but I'd still like a better starting recipe, so if you find a good one please let me know!
Yeah, beef jerky, even when making it yourself like @CloverSi@lemmy.comfysnug.space does, can be quite expensive depending on where you live. Thankfully beef jerky doesn't require high-end cuts of beef. Round Eye is one of the preferred cuts and even in regions with relatively high prices for beef (e.g. Germany) it's still quite economical compared to store-bought Jack Link's.
I have a friend that makes his own before trips. He has it down to x pounds of fresh meat per person per day. He just buys meat, adds seasoning, and dries/cooks it in his oven. There is surely a youtube on how to do it.
