Great
dehydrator......i have one.........
lots of folks say to use the flank steak.......but the stores round here, have found out it makes great jerky..........it used to be cheap.......but not anymore.......if fact, my local Hy-Vee store has meat already sliced for making jerky
what i do to escape the higher coast of flank, is by the cheapest meat you can find........
i freeze it for couple hours, makes slicing easier
now some folks say slice with the grain, and some say across the grain.......i slice across the grain........easy to chew..........i slice into bout 1/4 thick slices......then marinade overnite...........i then smoke in my vertcile gas smoker for 2-3hours, and then finish up in the
dehydrator on the lowest setting...........you want air drying it, not heat
check under jerky for marinades.....i posted one i like......some just use worchestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.......A.B. from foodnetwerk uses abit of honey.......so it doesn't dry out TOO much and be brittle.......just do a search there for his recipe.........
