I bought a dehydrator a few weeks ago and I've started making my own beef jerky. Anyone else like making jerky? Care to share your recipies?

Shoot man, that looks good. I don't have any recipes but venison jerky is really good too.

I been meaning to make a thread on this for a couple years. I'm curious about which meat people use and pre made seasoning/marination

I'm not really interested in making marinade from scratch when its so cheap to buy
 
We marinate slices of beef heart in kombucha vinegar for about two days and then coat them in pepper. Best jerky ever!

Kombucha vinegar just happens when I get too busy to pour off a batch of kombucha and it just sits there and turns to vinegar. Happens probably twice a year, which is plenty of vinegar for hair washing, marinades, cleaning, etc. Lol, we REALLY use vinegar around here!
 
We just cut thin strips of venison and marinate them in your generic marinade. Then dehydrate them overnight.

We usually do the really thin 'jerky' look and thicker chunks and they both turn out awesome.

I've been using top sirloin roast but from what I hear you can use any meat. I haven't heard of people using a pre-made marinade, it's really not that hard to make your own. Mine consisted of half a beer, soy sauce, and some miscellaneous spices.

I also want to try making my own fish pellets with the dehydrator.
 
I always do thicker strips, more fun to chew on!

That sounds good, I'll have to try using beef heart next time.

Cool, I've been experimenting with different thicknesses and dry times.
