i was given an old dehydrator how do i make jerky with it/ do i use raw or cooked?

Question

i have no recipe or instruction book and have never made jerky before do i cook the meat or do i use it raw / also looking for recipes if you have one i can use it would be appreciated

also does anyone have any good recipes i could try out please

Answer 1

raw meat, go to meat department have them slice a nice roast into 1/4 inch slices, tell them it is for beef jerky

then u need

1/2 cup of liquid smoke ( look by soy sauce and taco sauces)

1/2 cup of brown sugar

3 cups of soy sauce

soak meat slices in that for about 30 min then arrange them on dehydrator shelves

this is out of a dehydrator recipe book that came with ours

Answer 2

No offense but these people don't know notin" Get a good LEAN!!! pc of meat (beef) Cut into strips Get Jhonny's french dip sauce ,soy sauce , Liquid smoke, Lawrys , pepper, mix together add water so its not too strong . Put strips of meat in sauce overnite , drain ,put in dehydrator, till dry but not brittle, I've made this for friends ,and they've ate the whole bag!!

Answer 3

You use raw meat.
Slice your jerky meat to the thickness you want.
You want to marinate it for at least 24 hours

Answer 4

use raw, but make sure your cuts are cleaned well.. this may help...........
