Yep, flank steak. Very little fat.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

I use Top Round.My last batch I did about a year ago.
About 3 1/2 lbs. of Top Round sliced at 1/4". Ended up with about 1 1/2 lbs. after shrinkage. I used the DigiQ set to 165. Worked great. Marinated for about a day. Started taking jerky off the top rack after about 3 hours. Stuff on the bottom took a total of 6 hours.
Next time I'll rotate the racks throughout the cook as it is clearly hotter at the top of the dome. Overall it turned out really good.
Jerky marinade:
1/4 C sugar
3 T Tender Quick
1/4 C honey
1/8 C Country Bob's sauce
1/2 T garlic powder
2 T Texas BBQ Rub
1/4 t hot chipotle powder
1 C water
1/8 C kosher saltPackerland, Wisconsin -

I made jerky with venison a few weeks back. Came out great, definitely not as good as flank, but I say cook the flank like steak and make jerky out of the deer.
