Wow this is such a great video. We are making jerky for the dogs 🐶 and want it to be chewy! Now I know!

[@hbirtt]

Thank you. I'm surprised that it took me several videos to find someone who covered this well but it did. I appreciate you explaining it well, not using any special equipment, and explaining the difference in cutting with or against the grain instead of just claiming one is "the right way"

[@Jerkyholic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ItsJustWanda]

thank you! This is my first time making jerky and I didn't know which way to cut the roast. Your explanation was just what I needed!

[@Bubba_Fett_]

Thanks for the info!!! 👍🏻

[@patriot210]

Thank you I realized I messed up last year trying to do it right this year thank you

[@loiyale24]

I use juiced fresh horseradish . I use a Meat & Vegetable Vacuum Tumbler Marinator to marinate meat

[@blackbluedgunsmithing7171]

Perfect way to explain it. Thanks !!! Always made my jerky with ground meat. Now I’m trying strip. This was excellent information 🎉

[@Jerkyholic]

Glad this video was helpful in getting you started making whole muscle jerky!

[@Dakiniwoman]

Thank you for your video... just what I was looking for.

[@derekd.4156]

I like to slice the jerky at a 45°. Gives a nice combo of chewy but also pulling apart

[@woodscrafter1971]

That's the best!!

[@aparise1]

Great video, thanks for helping me get started on my jerkey journey

[@Jerkyholic]

My pleasure. Welcome to the world of jerky making!

Just got a dehydrator and have an eye of round sitting in the fridge, thanks for explaining the grain of the meat in perfect detail, plus that 1 hour freezer trick will probably be a lifesaver, I'm not the most accurate with a knife! Also you were one of the few videos that explained a lot more of process, while still keeping the video short and sweet. Excellent content!

[@mytube92369]

Great video and your name as well :) Against the grain I’ve done and it is a bit tender still chewy,I will try the other way to see how bad and chewy will be. Thanks.

How long did you let it marinate?

[@hawaiian-cerveza]

Oh man, I cut mine against the grain but also too thick lol. It turned out to be a well done steak type of texture.

[@Jerkyholic]

Haha. That's no good! Definitely better to have 1/4" or thinner for jerky.

[@hawaiian-cerveza]

@@Jerkyholic Yeah, I bought 6 lbs of wyw of round and dehydrated about 10 oz of the first cut. After watching this, I cut it slimmer and it turned out so much better!

[@ncboyd]

Good explanation 👍

[@russsettelmaier625]

Do you keep those "vein" looking things in or should I cut those out?

[@user-qw4co4ir3l]

I’m not sure what vein things you’re talking about. If you mean the white lines, those are fine.

[@loripitts519]

Can you slice and pound out to make it even thinner? I like it very thin..

[@user-qw4co4ir3l]

Definitely. That would be a good way to get thin jerky.

[@TheAussiePirate]

I like to cut against the grain myself, I find it too chewy otherwise.

[@jameslowrey6414]

How long to soak 10 lbs of jerky

[@user-qw4co4ir3l]

6-24 hours is best.

[@codyardis3567]

Is that the same for sirloin?

[@Jerkyholic]

Yes. Sirloin is a little more expensive and usually not used for jerky because of this. You can definitely use it though!
