Saw a couple of posts with this cut of meet, and JT recently tried it, so I thought I would give it a try. Purchased from Sams, was a little over 11lbs before trimming and about 10lbs after. Put them in the freezer for a little while, sliced, and into the jars. This is a new jerky recipe that I made up, if its any good I will post the ingredients. Will go into the 80L in the morning since the smoker is full for the next 24 hours (thats a different post).

I really liked this cut of meat and for $3.19 / lb it's worth it.

SIA, looks tasty! Great color too.
So what did you think of the recipe?
I will tell you tomorrow. It always taste different after the first day. So far so good.
SIA
SIA. It does look great
Good job
That looks tastey, let us know how your new recipe tastes
Drool :P
I still have one piece left from my last batch ;D saving it for you.
JT
Well JT I'm bringing some down along with some pulled pork...should make a nice lunch :) See you tomorrow.
SIA
I did find the eye of round easier to process than the flank steak. I still have your one piece of jerky I saved for you... I had to hide it in the van. When I carried it out of the house this morning Coco was jumping up and down and sniffing the paper bag the jerky was in just hoping it was for her.

Wow, that's a lot of jerky on one rack. Did you have a hard time getting that to dry? You're dog obviously has good taste. :D
I'm pretty sure that is more than one rack of jerky. The photo is deceiving.

The jerky is in a glass dish sitting on top of a pile of racks ;D
It was pretty good too. I agree cut the brown sugar in half and it will be a winner.
John
That's good to know, you had me re-thinking my whole jerky making procedure. Just pile it on and go. :)
Here is the recipe I used. The taste was best at 3-4 days after drying. I was trying to find something I could just do in the dehydrator.
MARINADE for 5lbs.
In a big bowl, mix together:
2 c. soy sauce
1/2 c. liquid smoke (hickory)
1/3 c. worcestershire
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 T garlic powder
1 T onion powder
1 T crushed red pepper
1 T black pepper
1 tsp pink cure
I soaked overnight in a one gallon glass jar. If anyone tries it let me know what you think. 1/2 the people that tried it said to cut down the brown sugar (the recipe above is with 1/2 the brown sugar that I had in mine), the other suggestion was they wanted a little more smoky flavor so I am going to put it in the OBS for 40-60 minutes of hickory first on this next batch.

Hey SIA
How long did it take to dry in your 80L? I am getting ready to try jerky in mine.
Mike
Hey Mike, sorry I didn't reply sooner I have been out of town a bit. The last batch took about 6-7 hours, but I did not cut it real thick.
