Before it "dried" out a bit, You couldn't hardly chew it.. I'm gonna try your biltong...
Guess I should have checked the weather for today before I tried your recipe Dave. I did exactly what you did, including 3 Tbs honey, and adjusted the cure #1 for the weight of the meat and the marinade. Put 2.7 lbs of sliced carne asada (bottom round) in a 1 gallon Ziplock in the fridge to marinate last night. Woke up this morning to wind and rain. Scrapped the WSM and went to the backup plan........the oven. It was a total experiment for me. Came out great for those folks who don't have a dehydrator!
Setting the non-convection oven at 185F with the door cracked open with a 1/4" meat thermometer probe gave me temps on the top grate of 165-170F. I tasted a piece at 2.5 hours and it was still pretty soft. Tasted at 3 hours and it had improved. Flipped it at this point too. Tasted at 3.5 hours and it was firming up nicely. My wife likes softer jerky so I pulled it out of the oven to cool and put the second batch in. I'll go 4 to 4.5 hours on it.
I'm never buying jerky again! So easy. Thanks Dave!
By the way, I forgot to dry the pieces of meat before I put them in the oven. Didn't seem to make any difference.
Picture of finished first batch:
Picture of second batch just starting in the oven.

Hey Ray.... Looks good.... Did you add liquid smoke or are you going smokeless ?? With the seasonings it should be awesome either way...

That vid i posted is one of the good ones.
Happy New Year Dave!
I made a second batch of jerky in the oven made from bottom round. I substituted teriyaki for the Worcestershire sauce, added liquid smoke and garlic powder to the recipe you posted. Even though the bottle of liquid smoke was relatively new (couple of months old), I couldn't taste any smoke after the meat was dried. I like the teriyaki much better than the Worcestershire sauce.
And here's something new. I had three large pieces of the cured meat that wouldn't fit on my jerky set up. I just left them in the marinade since Friday. I wasn't in the mood to fire up the smoker or the oven to make jerky out of them, so I grabbed a skillet and pan fried them in some butter. Wow, that was FANTASTIC! Really quick too, like two minutes a side. Ended up eating all three pieces for lunch. Can't wait to get some more and try that on the grill. Might have to make a run to the grocery tomorrow.
