Tired of tough beef jerky that risks a visit to your dentist when you eat it? I discovered a method that seems to tenderize homemade beef jerky. I have an electric meat cutter with a serrated blade. I freeze the beef and slice it in one eight inch uniform thickness, dip in a soy marinade as it thaws and place in a dehydrator for three and one half to four hours. Since water expands about six to seven percent when it freezes it helps tenderize the jerky. I’ve never bought any or tasted any jerky that is as easy to eat as mine. Sometimes I put a little jalapeño relish on the jerky in the dehydrator, tastes really great!
