I'd like to try this over the winter but I'm not sure where to start. I've seen a lot of conflicting opinions on cut of meat to use, recipes for spices, etc. on the net and I want to know what worked best for you.
Thanks!

We have made jerky a couple of different ways. You can slice your meat about 1/4" thick, marinate in a liquid marinade in a ziplock bag at least overnight and put in the dehydrator. Another option is to grind your meat into burger but keep as much fat OUT of it as possible, mix in seasoning, which can be dry, wet or a mixture of both. Either use a jerky press to flatten into pieces or roll between 2 sheets of foil, slice and put in dehydrator. This method does not require overnight seasoning. We use teriyaki sauce a lot. If you go to the website for Liquid Smoke they have a bunch of seasoning recipes there. You can also buy seasoning packets in grocery store and meat markets. Dry until jerky pieces feel dry to the touch and bend but not break.

I mostly purchase jerk on the keep yet I even have (properly my mom and father) a barbeque pit with a large smoker on the facet and that i choose to initiate making handmade jerky. through fact you're doing it at residing house you will get greater slices of jerky then what you will be able to get on the keep. one chew of pink meat will make allot of slices of jerky.

i pre-cut them before I put them in the dehydrator and that seems to work well for me....I usually use soy sauce, and some sugar in my recipe with red pepper flakes. But try to find what works with your taste and likes.

the jerky is dry and should be hard, if you cut it thin then it wont taste the same, buy slim jims

ive made it several times, its very good, but it takes along time and when its done, if your not going to eat it right away then freeze because it molds.
