Cheap Wagyu vs Expensive Grassfed… Is there such thing as too much marbling? 

That shout out 😏

Definitely flavors you need for Jerky. Honey Dijon cowboy butter. Chilli lime Margarita. Pineapple Ginger Teriyaki. Smoked pineapple habanero.

Jerky flavor ideas 1. Lemon pepper 2. Tender teriyaki 3. chili lime 4. Cajuan or Portugues chicken 5. Subtle spice 6. Worcestershire and or soy sauce 7. Garlic parm 8. Italian dressing, honey mustard and Goya Sazon. 9. Thai chili, green onion and garlic. 10. Sweet and Sour 11. Spicy habanero 12. Sweet chili 🌶️ (I will update with future ideas.)

13:01 This small edit with the sudden vsauce music playing for literally half a second got me rolling. Genius lmao

Max’s average steak looks better than my best steak 😭

Max's production and video quality have really only gone up. Totally worth it to stay up late for this banger

Hey Max. I recommend "Beef Tapa" flavor. It's a common Filipino breakfast. Beef is marinated in soy sauce, garlic, black pepper, brown sugar, and calamansi (Philippine lime). It's sweet, salty, savory, and tangy at the same time. 😊

I think flavors from a traditional Birria would be awesome in a jerky. 2 or 3 different kinds of chiles for smoky spice, plus the cumin and herbs would all come through really well. Most of the ingredients are pretty inexpensive and good for large scale batches.

Thai inspired jerky. My sister-in-law is Thai and I used her most common savory ingredients and garlic and green onion. Made it all the time when I was a butcher. Any scrap that wasn't ground was jerky-ed.

Jerky Flavors for max :) - Garlic Parmesan - Lemon pepper - Coriander/cumin (curry flavor) - Rosemary thyme - Louisiana Cajun - Sichuan peppercorn - Cilantro lime - Caramelized onion - Smoked cheese - Greek/Indian yogut sauce marinaded - teriyaki - Peking duck fat aged jerky? - Worcestershire and soy sauce

Fun video. Your last one on how to cook ribs guided me through my first set of beef ribs! Really helped with the intimidation factor

Just amazing Max! Especially Loved this one!

One of my favorite flavor profiles that I think would be amazing for jerky is a coffee black pepper. Think coffee, black pepper, paprika, garlic, chili pepper, dehydrated mushroom, cocao powder, a little cane sugar, onion etc. It's unbelievable with steak.

For the jerky question; I think a sassafras flavor (the same root used in root beer) used for an intensely sweet and savory jerky would be an amazing pick, especially mixed with some kind of heat. So I propose Sassafras Shishito Jerky, both for the catchy name and for the unique taste it would bring.

Max's video quality is just much better than before. Also i think sweet-chill flavor for jerky would be good.

Max, I’ve been searching all over RU-vid for videos on A5 top round reviews and because of this video my search is over! Thank you!

You should make a lemon pepper shredded chicken jerky 🤤

I’ve never tried beef jerky but I heard yours is very good! A recommendation for flavours is maybe something like a honey-soy type or similar. Love your videos Max

Just found your channel. Really enjoy your stuff. Interesting and informative. Thanks

thx for all the great content really helps me stay motivated for my goal to become a chef one day keep up the great work :D

You are my favorite barbecuing RU-vidr of all time. You should call yourself the steak scientist. 😂

Would love to see a Applewood low and slow jerky flavor

So glad I came across this video. I could live on some good jerky! I’ll definitely be trying some Max Jerky.

You should make a Thai Basil and Coconut jerky: An Asian flair with sweet coconut and aromatic basil.

For the jerkey you should use a combination of chili crisps, Japanese barbeque sauce and sesame oil

Great video, gave me some good advice and ideas

Not exactly a flavor reccomendation but I think you should try making crispy jerky/ beef chips, as I love the crunch combined with how it melts in your mouth as well as how diffrent flavors blend together depending on what you season it with.

Great video Max! Always gotta watch them AFTER I’ve eaten or else I’d be craving steaks all day🥴 I’d like to see you develop a Mango Habanero or a Honey Sriracha Max Jerky. Something flavorful with a kick. Thanks for the video and cheers to your continued success!

Probably the most entertaining video I’ve seen in a while, loved eating and watching this. Also I think a beef jerky flavour could be a Texan style flavour, spicy and flavourful

That smoked cut looked amazing. Some Jerky flavor ideas: Bulgogi (Beef of course) Honey Gochujang (Beef or chicken) Salt + Pepper + Sesame oil (Pork) Wasabi Soy Ginger (Salmon maybe?) Carolina Mustard BBQ (Carolina Gold) We have a Korean style rib where we cover pork ribs with aged (sour) kimchi and make sure to put plenty of the brine in the roast pan. The pork juices does some amazing stuff to the flavor of the kimchi and the kimchi works some magic to the pork. I'd love to see someone pull that off with jerky, but it may be difficult for the cost of production.

I’d love a wasabi flavoured jerky! That’d be awesome! And congrats max on your first 100%!! It’s nice to see after all these years lol

I think a garlic, jalapeño, and cilantro flavored jerky would be incredible!

An aged balsamic caramelized onion jerky for me, and as an Ozzy very disappointed the grass fed one didn't rate higher. Another one for you to try if you can find it is an older retired dairy cow, some of our farmers have been selling them for better returns on the time invested, and I have to say that the taste is amazing.

Love the video Max! A few flavour ideas for the Jerky. Jalapeno and sweet Orange Cherry Chipotle 💥🔥😍

Honestly... I really just wanna see someone make a jerk style jerky. Like... it's in the name! I mean typically jerk chicken is the go-to but a jerk beef jerky might be interesting too. Just gotta make sure you use the right wood and seasonings to get that flavor. I think you'd make it legendary!

To everyone who sees this comment, keep pushing in life and never give up. Can't wait to see you successful one day and May God bless you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dude… love your stuff, but this was on a different level! Cheers! 🍻

A blueberry-scotch bonnet jerky would be insane. Especially if it was a lamb jerky. The natural sweetness of the blueberries and the lamb or a high quality beef and would pair amazingly with the fruity sweetness and heat of a scotch bonnet. Another one would be a straight up general tso's chicken jerky. Simple but super palatable to everyone. But using blood orange and adding szechuan pepper for a little numbness and a pleasant surpise 🤘

i'm surprised how you left the sous vide one for 24h and it wasn't completely over cooked, everything looked great, you should get a sujihiki knife to slice the beef, easier and way cooler lol

Hey Max, I wanted to make a recommendation to add a wasabi jerky, because I think it would have such a good kick and taste perfect! Love your channel btw!

Any jerky you make will be amazing. I think a nice take on a wellington in jerky form would be dope to have!🎉

Flavor you need to try, I would LOVE to see a honey mustard! And if you're feeling rather experimental, try something tropical? like smoked pineapple mango or something? Love the videos man. keep up the great work and happy birthday!

Excellent video as always Max. I find your story inspiring. As far as the jerkey flavor, I think garlic jalapeño sounds fantastic. Bulgogi would be great too. 👍

For jerky flavors, 2 things came to mind. First could be a chicken teriyaki style flavour, since it’s savory/sweet. Then, I thought that maybe a jerky made with a Mexican/latin american flavour would also taste good.

Newest and best flavour would for sure be teriyaki- on another note, thanks so much for making these videos, I really enjoy them and only wish you the best for your future❤

I think a Tiger cry flavor would be incredible for jerky. The combo of the slightly sweet marinade with the heat and funk from the spicy bird's eye chili, lime juice, and fish sauce (Nam Jim Jaew) could only make it a fantastic tasting experience and no doubt, a huge seller.

Max may not be a UPS driver, but damn does he deliver for a living

BACON JERKY

Max jerky flavour suggestion, maple and scotch bonnet peppers with a pinch of all spice. This flavour came about using left over peppers from jarring up some jerk marinade.

Blood orange and ginger jerky is the first thing that comes to mind for a unique flavor. Also smoked wagyu sounds so good right now.

masala chicken, i liked my own comment

Dick cheese has always been my favorite jerky. But you could call it duck cheese for political correctness

You should do a seasonal flavor like I’m thinking like a cranberry and turkey. love your videos by the way

Jerky Flavour idea from South Africa Durban Curry style. Ginger, Garlic, Masala Curry and Coriander(we use these on our Biltong often). Usually for lamb and chicken, but beef will work just fine with it

Jerky Flavor Ideas: Sriracha Lime: A spicy and tangy combination with the heat of sriracha and the zing of lime. Teriyaki Pineapple: Sweet and savory, with the tropical twist of pineapple and the umami of teriyaki sauce. Coffee Chili: A bold mix of coffee grounds and chili spices for a smoky, caffeinated kick. Honey Mustard: A blend of honey and mustard for a sweet and tangy jerky. Garlic Parmesan: Infuse your jerky with the rich flavors of garlic and parmesan cheese. (I would personally like this one) Asian Fusion: Combine soy sauce, ginger, and sesame for an Asian-inspired jerky. Smoked Applewood: Achieve a smoky, woodsy flavor reminiscent of applewood smoke. (This could be ur signature one) Caribbean Jerk: Incorporate jerk seasoning, including spices like allspice, cinnamon, and scotch bonnet peppers for a spicy, tropical twist. Ranch Dill: A creamy ranch dressing mixed with the freshness of dill for a unique flavor profile. Cajun Spice: Create a spicy jerky using Cajun seasoning with paprika, cayenne pepper, and other aromatic spices. Lemon Pepper: Infuse your jerky with the zesty brightness of lemon and the warmth of black pepper. Pesto Basil: Combine basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and olive oil for a pesto-inspired jerky. Korean BBQ: Marinate the meat in a sauce made from soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar for a sweet and savory jerky with a hint of spice. (This one should be a must have) Mexican Street Corn: Capture the essence of elote with flavors like chili powder, lime, and cotija cheese. Balsamic Rosemary: A sophisticated blend of balsamic vinegar and rosemary for a slightly sweet, herbaceous jerky. Tandoori Spice: Use tandoori spice mix, yogurt, and lemon juice to create a flavorful Indian-inspired jerky. (This would be soooo good) Green Chile Salsa: Incorporate roasted green chilies and tomatoes for a Southwestern twist. Mediterranean Herb: Blend Mediterranean herbs like oregano, thyme, and rosemary with olive oil for a savory jerky.

I can confirm that is the way you break the ice between cultures. It happened to me with a group of Indian workers. In no time, I was a regular guest at their table, enjoying their amazing dishes!

First thanks as always between you and Gugu I am hungry often lol But for Flavors why not the classic black peppered? Or I've seen bacon jerky some applewood smoked bacon jerky would be great as well!

Happy Birthday, Max!!!

got eleven ideas for the jerky @maxjerky 1. Lemon pepper 2. Tender teriyaki 3. chili lime 4. Cajuan or Portugues chicken 5. Subtle spice 6. Worcestershire and or soy sauce 7. Garlic parm 8. Italian dressing, honey mustard and Goya Sazon. 9. Thai chili, green onion and garlic. 10. Sweet and Sour 11. Spicy habanero

Ghost pepper (very light!) with a sweet fruit forward and sight bit of salt crunch.

Can you please make a ancho Chile and garlic beef jerky🙏🏼 the combo would be off the chart

You kill it bro!!

Pineapple ginger teriyaki jerky, flavors would work wonderfully together, especially with jerky that holds flavor very well, you would be able to really capture every flavor

for jerky ideas : 1-mangolian beef flavor 2-sweet and spicy with orange hint 3-smoked mashroom 4-parmigiano reggiano (italian profile) 5- beef shawrma (tahini marination) 4-

Really enjoyed the video but I wish you would have ranked them or gone into more detail about the differences between them

This is really good to know. Thanks

max i would love a karaaga chicken flavored jerky ya know the whole garlic/ginger marinade omg would be soooooo yummy

You should try to do a carne asada flavor for the jerky if you haven’t yet. I bet it’d be delicious!

It's up to preference. When I lived in Japan, I got tired of wagyu just cause it started to feel like I was eating beef bacon. I started buying Australian grassfed steaks after that for more chewiness and less grease.

i love the trick with the spin he does with the black pepper

You should do a "pecan praline sriracha" flavored jerky! The nutty sweetness of the pecan praline being undercut yet balanced out by sriracha... *insert Phillip J. Fry's "Take my Money" gif*. I hope you have a great birthday!

My flavor ideas for max jerky- -Smoked chili mango -Caramelized onion -A flavor based around garam masala

Honey lemon basil would be a great flavor for any jerky in my opinion, especially if you start doing lamb jerky.

I like the texas BBQ jerky and it's my favorite flavor, please send it Max! 🙏

I wish I could try it I ordered for Toronto Canada but couldn’t be delivered do to some delivery overseas problems hopefully it will be fixed soon and I can try your max jerky

so jerky flavor something with lemon pepper for sure, and maybe something with habanero and pineapple those two I put on shrimp with jerk seasoning but I could totally see it used for jerky

Lowkey i want do see a gravy flavored max jerky

Wait Alpine Butcher in Lowell, MA?? If so that's awesome...I go there they got some good stuff lol

Jalapeño lime, zesty lemon salmon jerky, Kansas City Applewood BBQ, and honey glazed pork belly all seem like fire flavors

Grass fed A2 wagyu is amazing! Its what I buy in the UK, you can more of it and its cheaper lol. In Japan its actually what most people favour as A5 is awesome, but its very expensive and very rich, so great as a treat, but not on a wet Thursday in November.

Watching this video made me realize how much better Guga's videos are. The editing is on another level.

You should try and do a candy jerky if possible. Happy birthday also ❤

Filipino beef tapa flavor. My family marinates the beef in soy sauce, coconut vinegar, crushed garlic, black pepper and a little bit of sugar.

Top flavor recommendations: Caribbean Jerk Sweet Bourbon BBQ Sweet & Spicy Polynesion (Shout-out to Chick-fil-a) Lemon Pepper Mango Habenero Cajun Spice

Jerky flavour: Absolutely spicy korean barbeque sauce! A combination of gochujang (which has an amazing smoky/sweet/spicy flavour) with other classic korean bbq sauce ingredients such as soy sauce, garlic, ginger. Its the same kind of sauce you see on korean BBQ chicken, and there is a reason its so popular, its probably one of the greatest things someone can eat haha!

I wish I had some suggestions for Jersey but when it comes to Jersey flavoring I have no idea I just want to say happy birthday and seeing how good your steaks look you should open a restraunt

@maxthemeatguy you should make wagyu a5 jerky flavor

Jerky Flavor Suggestions: - Black Garlic Jerky - Mongolian Sauce Jerky - Apple Jerky - Pa-Lo Jerky - Seaweed Jerky - Thai Spices Jerky

Citrus basil jerky would go crazyyyyy. Soy sauce, basil, lemon, lime, and orange essential oils would be the chefs kiss

I love to see a venison jerky of some sort in any flavor. Garlic parm beef Smoke salmon jerky? Chimichuri type marinade?

rlly good flavour defiinetly a tropical hawaiian flavour, since its completely different from your other flavours it would maybe stand out

Brown Sugar Hickory Smoked Bacon Burnt ends Jerky. You could Nashville Hot Chicken Jerky. You could do multiple different levels of spiciness with this one. Chicken and Waffles Chicken jerky. You could do this one with multiple different flavors of syrup.

How about St.Louis bbq rib jerky, a Memphis rub beef jerky or a Carolina style jerky?

Jerky flavors: New Mexico Hatch Chile, Cherry Jalapeño, Wisconsin summer sausage

Just back from Vermont - Maple, spiced chilli

My recommendation would be …jerky apple sirup and cinamon flavour with a bourbon kick to it…yummyy❤

You should do flavors of 1. Garlic butter 2. Mango habanero 3. Wagyu 4. Maple jalapeño. 5. Sweet apple

Bro you should do gugas rub flavord jerkey 🤯

Max man i couldnt cook shit before watching yout vids now im nailing steaks perfectly couldnt thank you enough my man

You should try a cowboy butter type jerky. Basically all the same ingredients in a cowboy butter but into a jerky!!
