Homemade jerky lasts for. 2-3 Months. But remember, beef jerky, like a lot of other meats, usually has a best before date and not a use by date or an expiration date. Because of this distinction, you may safely use jerky after the best before date has lapsed.
Ask your butcher to trim any fat, and, when you begin your prep at home, use your sharpest knife to trim any remaining fat. Favorite cuts of meat for jerky include brisket, top round, and, for a truly luxurious treat, try filet mignon jerky, favored by gourmet foodies like the owners-namesakes of Three Jerks Jerky. The cuts are already smaller than a big brisket, making your task of slicing and prep a bit easier.
