ok I read a bunch of recipes off of all recipes.com and this is what I did

one 6 pound roast - ALL fat cut off
partially thaw and slice as thin as possible and marinate over night or up to 24 hours in the following

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup balsomic viniger
1/2 cup worshershire sauce
1/4 cup liquid smoke
2T or so seasonall (or steak seasoning/season salt type thing)
1t black pepper
1/4 cup crushed garlic from a jar

when it is all done soaking - pull both trays of the oven as far out as you can with out them tilting - take foil and line the bottom one except for one inch of air space all the way around the edges - then on making SURE they are on top of each other (unless you want a smoky mess!!!) lay the meat, squease out the extra sauce back into the bag, across the top rack trying very hard to not overlap at all - set oven to 170 degrees or warm if eletric shut the door and go to bed - next morning it should be dry but bendable -

you may have to blot it on a papertowel to get any extra oil off it

be smart for long term storage stick it in the freezer but it is fine to live in your purse in a baggie for days on end for munching


note - I like this b/c the viniger gives it a bite but no spice - you could use tony chachere's in place of season all, more peper or add hot sauce if you like -

if anyone makes this let me know how yours turns out - mine is GOOD

Will have to try this. Hey, if you catch sirloin on sale, works great for jerky. Something else I have tried. My bro had some deer burger. I went and bought one of those jerky presses. On clearance at WM for like 6 bucks. Anyway, I made strips and some slim jims. Turned out badass.

 
                  I would like to help you but you cant fix stupid.

This is the one I got. It even comes with 6 seasoning kits for it.

It comes with the thin jerky attachement and 2 different slim jim sizes. It turned out great. It doesnt take as long as the regular cuts of meat either. As you know if your using beef with any fat in it you will have to blot it. I done 2 lbs of it and my son had it gone in a week.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this.  I'm definately going to try it.  My mom bought me a dehydtrator years ago when we all thought we were going to starve over the Y2K thing and I NEVER used it.  This I will do.

Think I'll have to try this one now that I have an oven again!!!  No pots and pans but I have new cookie sheets and shelves in the oven to use too!!!  Thank you

If your using cuts of meat instead of the ground type, I can remember my mom making jerky and running a tooth pick through it and hanging it in the oven instead of laying it flat. Turned out great.

THANKS DANNI !!

I used to have a dehydrator and use to make beef jerky years and years ago - back when it wasn't a healty thing to eat because of the salt, etc...............(90's or so for me)


but I think that the recipe I had only included:

Soy Sauce
Liquid Smoke
Crushed Pepper (only if you want to)

  • Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose.  Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email.  I'll answer it as soon as possible.  
  • Total Lost:  139 lbs
  • Current Weight:  263  
  • As of 11-10-13 I have had weight gain.  Not happy about that.
  • RNY: 10-16-07 = 338:  Highest weight: 350+  Lowest Weight: 199

We've been making jerky in a dehydrator for years. We started out with a recipe similar to yours but over the years streamlined it to just 2-3 ingredients. One of the marinades I liked the best was red wine, garlic and liquid smoke. I don't like it real salty or peppery.
