[bandaidman]

New to this stuff and enjoying it.

Can anyone share a jerky recipe that is gluten free?

Thanks

Gluten-free...that's easy...stay away from marinades using soy sauces, worsty sauce, etc. I use cure for all my jerky...much easier to get great results, and far less risk regarding food safety.

Here's a few I make which go great around here...all smoked and dried in a propane smoker:

The above recipe, in action with thick sliced whole muscle beef...step-by-step and a few tips along the way...this stuff is addicting, so make more than you think you want:

One of my first times using ground beef and a jerky gun...easy, and good stuff here:

I am not sure how serious of an allergy it is or if it is even a new one. But below is a couple resources that are good to have. The first is an iPhone app that you can scan the barcode of an item and it will alert you of any potiental concerns after you set up the peramiters. The second is to the Android type version. The final link is to the FAAN (The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network) site. They also have reviews and recomendations for smart phone apps that can help avoid hidden dangers.

forluvofsmoke is correct it is an easier one to manage, but you still have to be careful of the hidden ingrediants. There are soy sauces and other traditional condiments that have gluten in them that are now avalible without gluten, just have to read and ask around. We will call the manufacturers from time to time to varify. A lot of major manufacturers are starting to put the allergy information on their web sites as well. One for your allergy that comes to mind for me reciently was oatmeal. Tecnically it is not a wheat so it should be ok, however many of the farms will still have wheat mixed in their fields due to crop rotation, so Quaker will not say theirs is 100% gluten free due to the possibility of cross contamination, but wheat/gluten is not listed on their labels.

If you ever need any help or have questions please feel free to sent me a PM and I will do my best to assist you.
