How to Make Beef Jerky with a DEHYDRATOR

Learn how to make beef jerky with a dehydrator, or home oven. The recipe used is a savory, black pepper version, but I also give you tips on how to make your own custom beef jerky recipe.
CUTS OF BEEF USED FOR JERKY
In my opinion, the best cut of meat to use for beef jerky is the Top or Bottom Round. Both cuts are lean, don't contain a lot of connective tissue, and are relatively inexpensive. Cuts high in fat need to be avoided since fat will not dehydrate properly, and will turn your jerky rancid.
