It’s been a while, but was craving some beef jerky. If you’ve never cooked your own jerky, do it. And you’ll never buy store bought again. This was teriyaki jalapeño made from 1/4” slices of bottom round.

    Love beef jerky!  I tend to make mine in a dehydrator just because it’s so easy.

    I used to start in Egg for smoke, then finished in dehydrator. Now it's done in Traeger all the way, larger capacity and no rotating, way easier.

    I guess I did not appreciate how much work rotating is.

    Agreed that this is a cook everyone should try. Just embrace your inner jerk!

    Haven't made it in a while. I am cheap, so kept waiting for the round to go on sale.

    easiest method in the egg is to lay the pieces down in a thick  pile/mound  and flip it a few times during the cook....no rotating single layers.  used to be called the mound method on the forum 20 years back, so much simpler

    Huh my comment didn’t upload or it went somewhere. 

    Here’s my set up for the slicing machine. Easy. Same as in that video I think, just a different label on the box.

    So are y’all an “against the grain” jerky, or a “with the grain” jerky kinda jerk?

    For me the shape of meat dictates the grain direction. Saw a video recently that advocates going halfway, 45 degrees!

    Don’t be a Damien! ;p I used the jerky slicer on pre-cut top round from Costco. Super easy. Costco ROOLZ JOO!!!  Anyway. The slicer needs a heftier chunk lol

    so it’s off to teriyaki beef jerky with “shoestring” “skinless” “slim-Jim’s.”

    we’ll see…

    I use my regular meat slicer and just freeze the meat a bit or I use ground meat and a jerky gun with a flat tip (like a caulking gun but for meat). I really like how you garnished each slab with the jalapeño slices! I need to give that a try!

    Hadn’t made jerky in about six years. Was wanting a high protein snack. Bought a nearly 8lb’er of eye of round, trimmed it, sliced it and smoked it on the Egg. Once cooled, vac sealed and put into the freezer. Didn’t use curing salt, as I consume them within days of defrosting. 

    Was a lot to fit on the large with two tiered grate, so had to both fold and crowd the meat, but it all worked out Grate.
