This will be a two part cooker but it will finish in the dehydrator so I will put this here.
Pull a eye of round out of the freezer two days ago. This morning it was thawed enough to work with. I used to use my big Hobart slicer for the job but I'm getting pretty good at slicing with my filet knife so that's what I used. Besides you need to trim the fat off anyways so you might as well keep going and slice.
Out of a 5 lbs. roast I got just over 4 lbs. trimmed whole jerky meat.
This will be a mesquite & hot pepperoni mix I have been using up. Kind of 2/3 mesquite and 1/3 hot pepperoni.
If the weather permits this will be going into the smoker for at least 3 hours of smoke @ 120°F. After that they will go into the dehydrator.
I'm not a big fan of liquid smoke......just seems wrong
So this bag is in the fridge over night. You can see the red pepper flakes in the picture. Even at 1/3 the mixture these come out with some fine heat.
