Thanks Chris!

Top round which is commonly called London broil around these parts. Or eye of round is what I usually use. I'll use flank if I get a deal on it.

So you don't smoke your jerky? Let us know how that gift works. I am going to dry mine in the new ninja, capacity is small but need to try. After getting the Ninja last week, the kitchenaid over the weekend and a slicer this coming week. Bonnie will kill me if I bring another appliance into the house!

Although....I could give away the ancient Ronco dehydrator (o fan so not safe for jerky) I have and store this it's place...hmmmm

Depends on my mood/weather/time/etc. I've done jerky in the oven, dehydrator, air fryer, and smoker. This new dehydrator works very well. Large capacity. And I didn't need to rotate the racks like others I've had.
I'm gonna get accused of blasphemy. But, with the addition of liquid smoke to the jerky recipe. I cannot tell the difference between the smoked or oven jerky. As long as you're careful on the amount you use.

Steve, is there an set amount of liquid smoke you use per lb of meat?

Steve, is there an set amount of liquid smoke you use per lb of meat?

Yup. 1 tsp per pound of meat. And I add cure #1 for total weight. 5 pounds of meat and liquid add 1 tsp of cure. Though. With the TSM liquid smoke. I use a touch under 1 tsp per pound. Their stuff is good. But strong.

Thanks!

Steve do you sous vide your jerky before dehydrating? I was reading somewhere that it should brought to 145 deg before dehydrating?

I never tried that. Or heard of this. I've always just took it from the fridge to what I'm using to make jerky.
