Title: Eye Round Jerky
Post by: tailfeathers on July 09, 2016, 10:58:28 AM

Jerky stash is getting low so thought I better stock up. Sliced up 10# of eye round roast, let it soak overnight in a quart of Smoking Gun marinade with 2 t cure 1 and 1 t cayenne for some extra kick. Into the dehydrator this morning. Pics to follow!

Turned out really good(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160710/cc6997af30431fdedca541cdbaedbaf4.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160710/75917439a8966dce887860bcbddc388f.jpg)
Found out that next time I'll probably start with 15 lbs of roast, this 10 lb batch fit comfortably on 7 of the 12 racks in my 80L Cabela's dehydrator. If I have to clean the slicer and dehydrator after using them anyway may as well use the full capacity. 10 lbs raw weight of beef yielded 4 3/4 lbs of jerky. About a pound of which went on a pontoon ride at a friend's lake cabin and sadly did not survive. ;)
