Anyone have a go-to jerky recipe they might share? I have 2.5 lbs of eye of round I am thinking of using. Not much else to do to stay busy. TIA! This would be my maiden voyage in the land of making jerky.
I have a few I like and mostly use deer. I slice 1/4" and marinate overnight. I use to cook in the oven but now use my smoker

Thanks for posting your recipes! Question though: By using the smoker, do you need the liquid smoke?
Probable not. Adds a little different flavor but not that much.Thanks for posting your recipes! Question though: By using the smoker, do you need the liquid smoke?
I've never made it. But if I were to make it, I would use the method Alton Brown did on Good Eats. He used flank steak as it has the best fat content for the method. Put the beef strips in air filters strapped to a box fan to dry the meat. No heat needed, just time. It will stay fresh for 3 months.
