Trying to make jerky out of pork loin.

With beef so expensive, this was $1.99 a lb. Any thoughts or experiences with pork jerky?

I don't but what was the price of beef and what cuts were you looking at?

Smoke it the same way you'd cook beef.

Eye of round was $5.99 the last 2 weeks and rump roast (kind of fatty) was $4.99. Flank and skirt is usually higher than that. I can buy ribeye a for +$5.99 a lb

My thoughts are make the jerky and tell us your experience. If it can be made out of chicken and turkey it can be made out of pork. I would imagine it will come out nice.

Yeah, you've piqued my interest....you can certainly get pork cheaper than beef these days so if it's halfway decent it might be worth a try.

I think you're gonna be happy w/it, just season real well.
Teriyaki would be good

Wouldn't there be a risk involved having pork in a danger temp zone for so long?
Posted on 12/23/15 at 1:11 pm to GynoSandberg
Why don't you just cure the loin whole?
Posted on 12/23/15 at 1:49 pm to GynoSandberg
I hope the danger zone doesn't matter since I cured it. Btw, I cured it after slicing and let sit for 24 hours.
This is me getting started.

Came out pretty good. Texture was like beef. Flavor was not as gamey as beef and venison, tasted a little like ham. Went back and bought 3 more loins and put them in the freezer.

Looks like it came out perfect

Looks great! I'm gonna have to try this.
BTW, Sam's had whole pork loins for 1.99 a pound - a whole loin was about $12 - $15.

Thanks. I went to Leblancs and bout 3 more. Sliced and trim them and froze them in quart bags. Quick question, what should I do with straight ground pork. Got about 5-7 lbs of it from the trimmings. Anyone have an easy breakfast sausage recipe?

Easy to chew?

You could also try a jerky gun if it's not from a real fatty cut of pork. It's not my preferred method but it is more economic for beef and a good use of those random deer cuts. Never tried pork in any fashion.
