You can pretty much use any cut of meat you want. You might want to stay away from too fatty of a cut though. It is always wise to remove as much fat as possible because it can turn rancid.

I need to try the eye of round. I normally use flank steak.

This is how I do it here (http://suburb.semo.net/jet1024/recipes/jerky/soy-jerky.html).

You cook your flank steak or round steak London Broil style and then make jerky?

JT,

In the Northeast there is a cut called London broil as opposed to cooking style.  I think it is top round.

I use rump roast cut about 1\4" thick and marinate for 48 hrs., this works really well be sure and remove the fat.
