Loved this recipe, very tasty and tender. I cooked it in the oven on a rack at 180 two and a half hours. Will make this one again. GOOD, GOOD, GOOD

Tasty but not too strong. I doubled the marinade as this did not cover the meat well enough or at least compared to other recipes we made the same day. Even then it was not enough to cover 2 pounds of meat.

Very Good recipe, But Curing salt is a must to rid the meat of bacteria and helps it preserve longer. great flavor, but dyhydrators dont get hot enough to kill bacteria. The curing salt is cheap and can be found at any sporting goods store.

The jerky came out very flavorful. Although when left overnight, it was a bit too salty. I'd suggest either reducing the salt or marinating a shorter period.

Thanks Doc! - This 5th batch will marinate til Sun. morn. (4 days in fridge) - See what difference vs. just overnight - My last 3 batches - used Ground beef - After drying - stored in glass jar in fridge Roll ground beef into (1" dia. roll) - 1/4" Slice & press to "rounds" - Load up dryer - NO CHANGE TO Doc's RECIPE (except meat) - My Ground Beef choice means "no Dental Floss Needed" if you know what I mean -

I had a beef jerky cook off in my kitchen today using this recipe and two from Recipezaar.com and quite frankly this came in last place. Maybe it was the choice of meat?? The only round I could find was quite thin and did not cut into strips well. I used flank for the other two and they were fabulous. The other two had much more flavor than this one did as well.

This was very good beef jerky had a nice flavor. I might use a little less soy sauce next time though, because a few people who tried it said there was a little too much for their taste. When I cut these into strips I cut against the grain on the meat(something my hubby suggested to make it easier to chew). My store carries 2 different types of "Liquid Smoke" I used the Natural Mesquite flavor with this recipe. Thanks for the great recipe!
