Beef Jerky Recipe – Flavor Series: Bone-In Mongolian BBQ Beef Jerky…Is It ACTUALLY Tasty?
Bone-in beef jerky?! Yep…we went there. In this video, we put bone-in cuts to the test to find out if jerky with the bone still attached is actually tasty…or just a bad idea. Spoiler: the results surprised us.
In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn:
• How to properly slice and prepare bone-in beef for jerky
• The marinade we used to balance flavor and texture
• Dehydration methods that work in both oven and dehydrator
• Tips for checking doneness and keeping your jerky fresh
Why does this experiment matter? Most jerky is made from boneless cuts, but bone-in meat can introduce new flavors, textures, and challenges. We’ll break down the pros, cons, and what you can expect if you try it yourself.
This recipe is perfect for:
• Beginners learning how to make jerky at home
• Jerky enthusiasts who want to experiment with unusual cuts
• Snack lovers who want better quality than gas station jerky

My thumb is not that big. But this is super interesting 🤔 I would try it
That's a really cool idea! I think the flavor sounds pretty solid — plenty of umami bombs, and a mix of sweet and heat. (I'm glad to see someone else sees the virtue of the jalapeno+pineapple combination.) I'd love to see that flavor (or something in that neighborhood) as a test kitchen run.
I'm a little skeptical of bone-in beef jerky as something for long term preservation — it seems like it would be easy for unsavory things to nestle in the bones or marrow and not necessarily get cured and dried in the same way as the meat. But as an experiment that you're going to eat quickly, I'm sure that it's great — certainly short rib is an absolutely delicious cut of beef if you treat it right.
This sounds delicious not sure about the bone in part but i bet if you did this marinade over tri tip cut would be delicious
Hey, thanks for trying my idea. It's something that I've been wanting to try myself. I liked the idea of trying it with bone in short ribs. I may have to give that a try, when my shoulder gets all healed up.
Looks delicious! 🤤
