Have your butcher trim fat and slice a very lean roast such as eye of round. Tell them it's for jerky. For each pound of meat add... 1 cup soy sauce 1 tablespoon liquid smoke 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 cup water (more or less depending on amount of meat) Add ingredients from above. Mix well and let sit in the fridge over night. I put mine in a zip lock bag and give it the occasional sqeeze to mix things up. It can be dried in the oven on cookie sheets but it's not as fast as a food dryer. I've played with adding a bit of splenda, onion powder and garlic powder. I like a mix of the three the best. Always store home made jerky in the fridge or freezer. Good luck, Laura B. |

The Excalabur dehydrators are even better, but IMHO they're not worth the price. If you see an Excalabur at a rummage sale for $20, grab it! oh now THAT'S an idea! thanks :) peace, pen |
