Making Beef Jerky

[19 Kilo]

I've got the large LEM dehydrator and love it. I just dip the meat in Dales and shake the pepper of choice on it. I see no need in making it any more time consuming than I need to.

When i am in a hurry to start a batch, i use fajita cut beef. easy to chew since they are cut across the grain

Good point, I always slice my meat cross grain.

The key to good jerky is how it's sliced

I agree. I bought a slicer, but I prefer to do it by hand with a very sharp knife. I leave it in the freezer until it's about half frozen. By doing it by hand I can cut off all the fat and silver skin off the venison

good recipe troutman i plan to borrow it. I use smoked salt in mine for an extra layer instead of pink or regular. Get it at whole foods - doesn't take much
