I've never made jerky, but discovered Biltong early this year. I made a few batches and it was great. Good luck with your first go at jerky.

I do 1 part salt, corriander powder, and black pepper. That is after the mixture of white and apple cider vinegar soak. I did not prefer thick cut or leaving fat on outside. Thicker takes longer, as I prefer it to be dried all the way through. Otherwise, too chewy. -

Egg for a little smoke with Amazin Smoker, then dehydrator.

I received a dehydrator last year for Christmas and now make jerky regularly. Lots of good recipes for the marinade on the internet. After slicing with a knife several times, I invested in a meat slicer and it makes it so much easier and better. Several good slicers on Amazon in the $80-$100 range. I buy the 2 packs of top round roast at Costco. Not much fat but trim any that's there.
A couple of tips: If the meat's frozen only thaw it out about halfway. If it's not stick, it in the freezer to get it frozen the same. It'll slice so much easier.
I marinade mine for at least 24 hrs. and more if I can. After marinade, drain it in a colander, place it on a sheet of foil and paper towels. Blot it to remove any excess marinade.
The kids and grand kids always want to make more and they say it's the best they've ever had.
It's lots of fun. EnjoyLenoir City, TN - Bama fan in Tenn Vol's backyard.

... and then prepped the pieces too thick for the game winner. And had to slice by hand with the ten inch shun premier. A mistake I won’t make again. Though the slices We’re easy to do. Just inconsistent and I was hoping to use the new toy.So frustrated I didn’t take any after pictures. Imagine my workstation looked like some kind of industrial accident had happened. Here’s a before pic, though.I’m marinating the whole thing one flavor I liked from last test run. Will have tons of jerky this time tomorrow night.Thanks for reading.Large BGE and Medium BGE
