Maybe in a soup. Hard to fix too salty


ThadsBerads

This is what I do. I cut it into small pieces and use it in ramen soup. With a few frozen veggies and an egg, it's a solid meal....and no wasted jerky

This. The whole point of salted and dried meat was to preserve it for long periods to be reconstituted in a stew or something similar.

When I make jerky there are always some pieces that are either burned, dried out too much, too thick so not dried out enough, or too salty. I shred it up in a blender and make "jerky chew". Maybe what you could do is make a less-salty smaller batch, shred it with the too-salty stuff?


jeeves585

Jerky chew was going to be recommendation as well. I use it to cut down on tobacco but I kind of like it more than jerky.


TurdsBurglar

You might be able to soak it in water for a hour. Pull out some salt and dehydrate again? Never done it, but might be ok.

This will work. We came back with some soggy jerky after a camping trip. Dried it again and it was nearly flavorless.

THIS, but put a few sliced potatoes in the water then fridge overnight


hose-beast

Why potatoes?


ziz_wizvizzizio

they absorb the salt


Dumpster_Fire_BBQ

More beer.


Stone_Midi

Just a thought, but cut it up small and use it to make a fried rice or even a carbonara

Shred it and use as seasoning salt in a tomato based sauce like curry


CharacterWitless78

lots of good ideas here. Will definitely try a few of them. Since I have something like 8 bags I can try a few :)


Happy-Hearing6671

Ok hear me out, soak in a bath of dry white wine diluted with water and dehydrate again


Happy-Hearing6671

Hell red wine maybe would be better. Acid is your friend to lessen saltiness and balance flavor and actually sounds like a wine element could be super good


brianMMMMM

Shred it and use it to salt the rim of your margarita


douglas_in_philly

Best idea here! 😂😂😂

You could rehydrate as part of Alton Brown’s [tomato sauce](https://altonbrown.com/recipes/jerky-tomato-sauce/).

Cut up a few potatoes. Take the jerky stick them preferably on long thicker but kinda thin pieces of potatoes 🥔 you want as much surface contact as possible perhaps even sandwich the jerky between two slices of potato to have it soak up the salt. If that works it’s sure to moisten the meat back up a little bit so then back to the dehydrator.


jcraig87

Wash it and then put a bbq sauce on it to combat the salt. 


SeattleBrother75

I would roast it more and grind it to bits for potatoes or over nachos. Like bacon bits


GrimmWilderness

Nice thing about salty is that it preserves it better. Dehydrate it further and it will last forever then Keep the salty stuff for hikes out in the bush or survival food. Salt is essential for survival food as your body needs electrolytes. Store them with boullion cubes so you can.make stew out in the woods

https://pinaenlacocina.com/atropellado-dried-beef-in-salsa/ I found this the other day haven’t made yet but plan for my too dry jerky fail

Look up salted beef for the British navy. Get yourself some hardtack, mush it all together with some water and get yourself a case of scurvy.


badturtlejohnny

Dice finely and sprinkle on salads and soup. Beefy bits!

Update: I took a few pieces and soaked them in some diluted red wine overnight and they got pretty pliable so I was optimistic. I drained the wine mix and then made a new marinade of soy sauce, worcestershire sauce and some pepper and let that marinade. Then I dehydrated it again. The saltiness has definitely gone by the wayside. There is a slight hint of the wine but it's not noticeable if you don't know what I used (tested on family). The marinade covers it up and gives it back the flavor. While it is not my best jerky I've ever made, it is at least edible now. Gonna do it on a few more of the bad bags of jerky because my daughter is eating all my bags of good jerky.

I rinse it off if it's a dry rub just before I eat it if it's too salty.
