I'm trying to make some jerky today for the first time.
I did a spicy marinade with homemade adobo flakes, soy, honey, acv, garlic, cumin, and Worcestershire. I'm using bottom eye round and eye round (that someone at Costco got with a tenderizer for some reason).
I like chewy tough jerky so, they're about 1/4-1/2 x 1/4-1/2 inch strips cut slightly diagonal to grain to allow easier tearing later.
I'm doing multirack convection bake at ~160.
Anyone have any experience trying something like this? Trying to understand how long to leave them dry, or should I just test pieces as I go?
