...act as a barrier to protect the protein from touching the hot oil directly and lock the moisture inside, thus resulting in tender meat.
For the context of making tender jerky, don't use cornstarch. Use baking soda. 1/4 tsp per pound of meat does not add too much sodium. It's beef jerky after...
...IMHO your meat would dry too fast. My store bought Biltong box has air vents and only a small computer fan to circulate air. It takes 4-5 days to do a batch, I believe you would have very dry jerky with your method. A lot of folks make biltong using cardboard boxes with dowels and a small fan.

The fat isn’t a problem it’s mainly the tendons or inter muscular separatation that can get chewy but with eye of round it’s only a couple
Spots on of the best cuts for jerky in my opinion
