1st Dehydrator

Jerky.

Not too healthy, but yummy.

Teriyaki seasoning, cure, garlic, dehydrator (set to 160 degrees).

After dehydrating for 4 & 1/2 hours and I prepped for 1 hour (because I made a second batch with my own teriyaki dressing and no cure), I think it is finally done.

This roast isn't the best. My mother in law buys 'thin sliced Milanesa' and I have to tell you, that meat is absolutely delicious! 

This roast is Top Round Roast. Not the best...




*At 4 & 1/2 hours in the dehydrator, my jerky was not 100% cooked, I had to cut my own strips, so next batch I am cooking for longer, maybe 8 hours. Not to mention, when I go to the store again, I'll be getting MIL's cut and asking they slice it.*

My mother in law (MIL) suggested to throw these bad boys in the oven if i wanted them crispier for 5-10 minutes on 325-350 degrees... This was a win win. I didn't like this jerky anyways, and Hubby loves it even more now.


This was the finished product of my first unsuccessful batch of beef jerky. The oven turned it black and dryer than it was, and it came out greasy.  

Can't wait for Round 2! Will be done around 6am...
