One of my students, Josh, is a young entrepreneur in WA who has his own Beef Jerky business (and doing a roaring trade!). He has used a mix of typing and speech recognition to tell us about his business here:
My business is called Outback Jerky. I established this business in December 2023. I always use to love jerky and one time I tried my cousin's homemade recipe, and it was delicious. So, l asked for his recipe. Now that recipe is how I make the original flavour.
The first thing you need to do to make jerky is to create your marinade. You can use whatever flavours you like. You need some meat to put with it, you can use lots of different meat, but beef is most popular. I pop it in the fridge, wait about 24 hours and then I dry my meat in a dehydrator. Then I use small bags to package my jerky.
I have six different flavours of my jerky. The first is Original, 2nd is Wh***ey, 3rd is Ar** Blaster Chilli, 4th is Lime and Gin, 5th is Vegemite and 6th is Russian Roulette. Our most popular flavours are Wh***ey and Vegemite, and my 2 favourite flavours are Lime and Gin and Wh***ey.
When our customers order they have a choice to buy 45g bags or 140g bags. Our 45g bags are good if you want to try our jerky and are $8. Our 140g bags are a bit bigger and our customers who order our jerky often buy them.
Because our jerky business is in Lake Grace and a long way from any big cities you can order by emailing us at [email protected] and we can post it to your location, and you can EFT the deposit.
( I loved the Vegemite and the Wh***ey flavours!)
Well done, Josh!
