Trying out some Jerky

Postby tex_toby » Sun Jan 16, 2011 10:12 am

I bought a bottom round roast and tried to slice real thin by hand which was a pain. A meat slicer is definitely on my radar - this just pushed me over the top. Marinated the meat overnight and loaded up the dehydrator this morning. I can't wait to give it a try. It smells great!

You know, I sliced it up last night and this morning while I was loading it up I thought, "man, I should have partially frozen it before I sliced it." Oh well, I was in a hurry due to excitement I guess. :lol: I've eaten ugly food before. :oops: We'll see how it goes anyways...

All finished! Flavor is excellent. Heat level is pretty high. I'm a pepperhead, so I like the heat level but I may need to tone it down for my wife to enjoy a bit more next time. She likes it too, but it definitely opens the sinuses! :lol:
