How I Make the Jerky
-
Buy It
Find a local supplier of whole uncut Eye of Round (To me this is the best cut of beef for Jerky)
-
Trim and Cut It
Take your Eye of Round, trim off all the fat, and slice into ¼ inch slices. You can keep the fat trimming to make Beef Tallow.
-
Weigh and Measure It
Cut the slices into uniform pieces, weigh and measure how much meat you need for your jerky recipe.
-
Marinate It
Marinate your meat for 24 to 48 hours. The longer the better the flavor.
-
Rack It
Drain the marinade from your meat and lay it out on your dehydrator trays.
-
Dehydrate It
Dehydrate your meat according to your recipe instructions.

-
Package It
