Great recipe for jerky. The family LOVED it! I've got another batch marinating now with a little crushed red pepper added to bring some heat. After removing meat from marinade I placed it between two paper towels then placed that between two pieces of waxed paper to pound it out. Pounding it between paper towels helped take some of the moisture out the steak before putting it in the dehydrator. Only had in the dehydrator for 4 hours - after taking out I wrapped the jerky in paper towels again to let it rest in the refrigerator before sealing up with a food sealer.

This is my first attempt to making jerky, spend tons of money on store jerky, Im trying to home make it and love the ingredients in this one.... Im using a bonless cross rib pot roast, its really lean and with the extra fat Ive cut off Im marinading and giving it to the dog for a treat! I will repost with the results. didnt have the meat tenderizer so omitted that and no salt to start, im not a salty person. plus Im using a light soya sauce and fresh minced onions and garlic.

My grandson and I tried this recipe-it was fantastic!! We used hamburger, mixed it into the seasoning and then shaped the pieces before baking 180 degrees, 1 1/2 hours. Grandson is very picky about jerky, but he couldn't get enough of this one-we'll be making again soon!!

Fantastic jerky. I buy a bottom round roast and my butcher slices it thin for me (costs a little bit more to get it sliced jerky thin but it is WELL WORTH IT). I cut it into jerkly length strips with a pair of cutlery scissors. I follow the receipe to the letter except I substitute low sodium soy sauce, hot paparika, and curing salt for those three ingrediants. I let it marinate for three days and then put it in the dehydrater for 3 to 4 hours. I have had many rave reviews on it and get asked when am I making another batch. I just put on a 6 pound batch to marinate.

I will say this is the jerky recipe I will forever stick with. I normally knock off stars if I change the recipe. But I just cannot bring myself to as this is so yummy!! I double the marinade, and omitted the salt (per other review suggestions), and used mesquite liquid smoke. I also used sirloin, which I thought is much easier to cut excess fat off, then london broil. Less oil while dehydrating I found as well. It is by far the best jerky I have had in my life...and I LOVE JERKY. And I made it which is so cool!! I love salt, and I can't say this enough, try without adding the tsps of salt first. You will be happy with the result. Thanks for posting. Now if we can get a ground beef jerky version that has the same magical taste. I think I will try by mixing all the dry ingredients into the ground beef, make into strips with a jerky gun, then coat with the mixed wet ingredients. I will edit my review and let you know of the results. Apparently, liquid marinades to ground beef, equals a real mess if mixed all together at once : (

I used Round Steak cut into thin strips and I left out the liquid smoke, tenderizer and paprika. I cooked on my Weber Grill over low coals. It turned out Awesome!

My husband and kids LOVED THIS RECIPE, we are a hunter family however so I used Deer, Moose, Sheep and Mountain goat, and they are worked out great! I let the Sheep and Goat marinade longer, and extra day, because it is a little different to cook with. But everyone was greatly impressed with this recipe!! The only thing I didn't have on hand was the liquid smoke, but since I've done this a few times without it seems unnecessary to add it now. Thank you so much!!
