New Member Looking For Soft Tender Beef Jerky Recipe

I can't help with the jerky question, as I am new too, but just wanted to welcome you, and hopefully we can learn together.

Interesting about citrus additives for of the two batches I did last weekend, the one which I had added some lemon juice was infact way more tender as compare the one without.

Sounds about right.  This is the idea that created the existence of fajitas.  A long while back meat places didn't care for the skirt as grinding it would dull blades and such so they would give away or sell super cheap.  Cheap meat plus hardcore tenderizing marinade = fajitas.  Should work work the same for jerky :)

It could also very well be the two companies you cited use tumblers designed tenderize while the meat marinates.

Has anyone here tried those two brands I mentioned, Jeff's Famous Jerky and Arizona Jack's Jerky? If you have, or tried anything similar to that soft, tender texture beef jerky, that is what I'm trying to make. That type of beef jerky. Please chime in and advise.

I love the Arizona Jack's Jalapeno jerky. Almost have it duplicated. I use my Traeger on smoke for about 4 hrs. Been playing with this recipe. http://www.traegergrills.com/recipes/beef/jalapeno-beef-jerky
I have changed a few things but this is a great starting point.
