Hi everyone I am typing on the cell phone so sorry for punctuation or lack of. I know this is a smoking meat forum but at the moment I do not have the means to be able to try smoking my jerky but I just buy a dehydrator and I was hoping someone could help me with the problem of my beef jerky having a plasticish after taste to it I used precut round steak they sell for stir fry and gamekeeper seasoning I could taste to seasoning though the jerky came out tough as all get-out but it just had this really odd taste that can only be described as plasticky after taste or it tasted like the air from the dehumidifier smelled if that makes sense also is there a way to make the jerky less tough thank you
