Hi Everyone,
I received an Excalibur 9 tray dehydrator for Christmas and have been drying like a mad woman.
I now want to get in to making all kinds of jerky - starting with beef. I'm also looking for gluten free turkey jerky recipes for friends, as well as some grain free/seasoning free fish jerky for my kitties.
What kind of beef works best for jerky? I do have some London Broil in the freezer - would that work out okay or is the fat content too high? I don't see much, if any, marbling in it. I do enjoy roasting eye of round in the crock pot and that is widely available in my area.
I don't have a jerky gun, so ground is probably out for now unless you can suggest other ways to go about it. I'm willing to learn.
Many thanks in advance for your help. I promise to share the good, the bad, and the ugly.
