I only make jerky out of ground meat, way easier to chew IMO, my dehydrator churns out a batch almost every week, I have 6 grandkids that eat it faster than I can make it, buy extra lean beef on sale at superstore around the $3 / lb range and mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with ground moose 6 to 7 lbs at a time.
I use the cabelas jerky seasoning mix, teriyaki and hickory seem to be the kids favorite but I like the cracked black pepper and garlic, I dissolve a package of cure and mix in a cup of hot water then mix it into the meat good, find it mixes better, shoot it through the jerky gun and away you go, 5 1/2 hrs at 160 degrees in the dehydrator and out she comes. sometimes I use the round nozzle and sometimes the flat one, a couple of the grandkids really love the little rounds.
