I visited the local grocery store and was shocked to see corned beef on sale for $4/lb. Considering all of the meat prices have been going up, this is a very good price right now. I picked up a few, intending to make jerky out of at least one of them.

I cut it up into little pieces and laid them out on the rack.

I coated them front and back with brown sugar.

I ran the dehydrator at 150 degrees F for about four hours. When it was done, I had a bunch of sweet/salty corned beef jerky!

It's pretty tough, but edible. Not terrible for my first jerky project. The sweetness of the brown sugar pairs nicely with the salty brined meat. I should have cut more of the fat off, as it could go rancid.

Next time I try making jerky I will tenderize the meat with pineapple to make it softer and easier to eat. This stuff is like chewing on leather!

Have you ever made jerky before?
