So I just got my first dehydrator and I tried out a simple beef jerky recipe. Store bought steak marinade for overnight marinading. I know I should have made my own but I was getting a little itchy to try the dehydrator out. Got up this morning and dehydrated a pound and a half of round steak for four hours. It tastes a little salty and has a strong flavor of soy sauce. I think next time I'll marinade it in pineapple juice with a healthy amount of chipotle chili powder and a table spoon of liquid smoke for something sweet and spicy yet smoky.
I'm very new to this so any tips?
Do you have a dehydrator?
What do you use it for?
Any fantastic recipes I should try?
